Purple Flag at the Freshers' Fair: Promoting Safety, Inclusion, and Vibrancy in Cambridge

As part of our commitment to creating a safe, welcoming, and vibrant environment for all, Purple Flag will be attending this year’s Freshers' Fair in Cambridge. This event provides a unique opportunity to engage with new students, raise awareness of the initiatives aimed at improving safety and inclusivity in the city, and showcase what Cambridge has to offer.

What Does Purple Flag Provide at the Freshers' Fair?

  • Awareness Campaigns: By attending, Purple Flag helps businesses highlight their commitment to safety, responsible drinking, and inclusivity in the city center. You'll be part of a collective effort to promote Cambridge as a Purple Flag city – a city that values its visitors’ well-being.

  • Exclusive Resources: Purple Flag will provide participating businesses with valuable resources to help them engage with students and promote their services in a way that aligns with the core values of safety and community. From promotional materials to offers and initiatives, we’re here to ensure your business stands out.
