Young Mayor’s Campaign
The Young Mayor is working on a campaign to endorse and promote the CHiPS Campaign. CHiPS has been a network of ‘safe havens’ across the Borough of Enfield since 2006, where young & vulnerable people who are lost, at risk or feeling vulnerable can go into any CHiPS marked establishments to ask for help & assistance from the community.
The local shops, businesses and amenities display a sticker to let people know that they provide a temporary safe place and will help access support for them. This may be by telephone or as letting them wait until they feel comfortable and safe to continue their journey. ChiPS aim to provide point of safety across Enfield. Currently, there are 200 CHiPS points across the borough, and our CHiPS points are growing rapidly – these include schools, leisure centres, libraries & a network of shops as well as other street-front businesses.
