“It was a different environment when we were younger, if you went to a club or a venue, anyone who was intoxicated would just get kicked out, out of the front door into the night to fend for yourself,” says Gemma Bennet, co-founder of Welsafe. “And sometimes put in an even worse position.”
If you’re at Parklife, Gemma and her business partner Elise Crosdale are the people helping to keep you safe, give you a biscuit, help you find your mates and even help you get home.
If you’ve overcooked it, got sunburned, twisted an ankle, lost your friends, lost your phone, possibly lost ‘it’, or maybe your feet just hurt, you can head to their welfare tent and they’ll do everything they can to set you back on the right track.
