Safer 6 2025 Campaign

Sandwell’s annual Safer 6 campaign is back for 2025, bringing six weeks of activities focused on addressing concerns, providing information, and promoting services that are available year-round to help people in Sandwell stay safe and healthy.

The campaign launches on 9 June and will run until 20 July.

Each week will focus on a specific town, with activities run by council services and external partners.

  • Week 1, Oldbury: Monday 9 June – Sunday 15 June 2025
  • Week 2, Tipton: Monday 16 June – Sunday 22 June 2025
  • Week 3, Wednesbury: Monday 23 June – Sunday 29 June 2025
  • Week 4, Rowley Regis: Monday 30 June – Sunday 6 July 2025
  • Week 5, West Bromwich: Monday 7 July – Sunday 13 July 2025
  • Week 6, Smethwick: Monday 14 July – Sunday 20 July 2025

There will be six aims running throughout the campaign:

  1. Increase awareness of crime prevention, safety measures, and partnership successes to help deter offending and provide public reassurance.
  2. Give residents, businesses, and organisations the knowledge and confidence to report community safety issues and seek support.
  3. Help vulnerable people of all ages, with a focus on tackling knife crime and preventing violence against women and girls.
  4. Improve public spaces by targeting issues such as littering, fly-tipping, and graffiti.
  5. Promote healthier lifestyles and our work to protect the public from the sale of illegal and dangerous goods.
  6. Bring communities together through events and activities to help foster cohesion.
