be the safe space
you want to see

Everywhere we turn we’re confronted by a lack of safety. In the news, on the streets, scrolling through our social media feeds, it often feels like the world is in a constant state of hypervigilance. At bobu, we’re changing that, one venue, one street, one city at a time.

what we do

bobu is making
safety real and visible

From our roots in Brighton, we’re helping businesses across the UK create safe, inclusive environments where everyone feels supported. Our bobu-certified partner venues are trusted spaces where safety comes first. If someone feels uncomfortable, unsafe, or is facing harassment or distress, they know they can walk in and find bobu-trained staff ready to assist.

We’re breaking the stigma around asking for help and ensuring support is always available. This is safety reimagined: bold, inclusive, and unstoppable. Feeling safe shouldn’t be a privilege - it’s a basic human right.

breaking stigma

Asking for help takes courage. bobu empowers individuals to seek out support and help without feeling fear or shame.

inclusivity and rights

Everyone deserves to feel seen, respected and celebrated, whatever your race, religion, sexuality, gender, size or ability.

sexual safety and prevention

With bobu, communities and businesses can visibly take a stand against street-level harrassment.

advocacy through action

Our training, workshops and outreach are sparking important conversations and driving real, positive change.
