Flare is excited to announce a new partnership with the Labour and Co-operative Society at University College London (UCL). This collaboration is set to enhance the safety and engagement of students involved in political activities and social events across London.
UCL Labour Society is a student organization that welcomes anyone interested in politics and creating a fairer future. With a packed calendar featuring guest speaker events, debates, pub crawls, and campaign activities, the Society provides students with unique opportunities to engage in political discourse, network with peers from other universities, and actively participate in campaigning efforts.
Martin Barabas, President of UCL Labour Society, commented on the partnership, stating, "Many students have found themselves alone and in need of help of a friend or loved one. Whether it's being lost in a club, walking home late at night, in a protest, whatever the situation, this app can provide that extra layer of safety. That's why we are very excited to partner with Flare."
Through this partnership, Flare and UCL Labour aim to provide an additional safety net for students actively participating in the vibrant political and social scenes across London. Flare's one-tap emergency feature will offer students a discreet and efficient way to reach out for assistance, enhancing their sense of security during various activities, from attending late-night events to participating in protests.
