The Vulnerability Hub (or Safe Space Hub) is already functioning in Chesterfield’s Night-Time Economy (NTE), led by Chesterfield Borough Council, but is currently understaffed and only available one night per week. The match funding required will allow the Hub to open on both Friday and Saturday evenings, with a 2-staff medic presence for 1 year. The Hub is a Safe Space for people who are feeling vulnerable in the town centre – this will help to remove many potential victims of serious violence from the streets during peak times for serious violence that is linked to the night-time economy.
