The Egalitarian | Safe Place Project

What The Egalitarian | Safe Place Project does

The Egalitarian | Safe Place Project is a UK-based, privately held organization (the egalitarian ltd) operating from Leeds that delivers community-led training and services to responsible businesses in the hospitality, entertainment, and education sectors. Its flagship offering is the trademarked Safe Place Project™, a trauma-informed training methodology that equips venues and staff in the Night Time Economy to identify, prevent, and respond to sexual harassment, spiking, and violence against women and girls (VAWG), with emphasis on effective allyship and victim-focused response systems.

The product surface consists of modular training services (Night Time Economy Training for pubs, clubs, festivals and student unions; Workplace Inclusivity Training), community safety surveys that feed an annual Spike Report research publication, podcasts and editorial content, and supplementary merchandise sales. There is no proprietary software platform; the technology backbone is the training curriculum, the trademarked brand, and community-sourced data inputs that iteratively refine the methodology.

The business model is professional services plus community contributions: revenue derives from paid venue and institutional training engagements, self-serve online workshops sold through Eventbrite, PayPal donations, and merchandise sold via a Big Cartel storefront. Named clients and partners include Universities UK, the Home Office, Sussex Police, the University of Salford, Goldsmiths, the University of Warwick, Northern Monk Brewery, and multiple student unions, with 30+ venues trained since 2020. Distribution is UK-domiciled direct sales to enterprises supplemented by a globally accessible self-serve ticket channel.
