HomeStay together, stay safe
Look out for our marketing campaign which urges party-goers to stay safe when enjoying a night out. The Stay together, stay safe campaign focuses on making people going out in Belfast more aware of how their behaviour affects their safety.
This campaign shows how good and bad a night out can be, how drinking too much can affect your ability to get home safe and it encourages everyone socialising in Belfast to look after their friends.
The campaign explores the following themes:
Pre-loaded
- Security staff may not let people who have already drunk a lot of alcohol into bars and clubs, leaving them isolated on the street.
- Taxis may not want to take people home, leaving them stranded on their night out.
- Some people may not be able to use their judgement getting home.
- Everyone can have a good night. Stick together and get home safe.
