Ever been on a date that’s gone from lush to get me out of here, mun in about five minutes flat? 😬 Maybe your Tinder match isn’t who they said they were, or things have just started to feel a bit off — we’ve all been there. That’s where the Ask for Angela campaign comes in. 👀💙
South Wales Police have rolled out a campaign that’s as genius as it is simple: if you ever find yourself in an uncomfortable or unsafe situation while on a night out, head to the bar and “Ask for Angela.”
🍹 What Happens When You Ask for Angela?
Bar staff who are trained in the scheme will recognise the code and step in to help — calmly and quietly. They might:
Call you a taxi 🚕 Help you get to a safe place 🏃♀️ Or just make sure you can leave without causing a scene 🙌
No drama, no embarrassment — just discreet, immediate help when you need it most.
💔 The Problem It Tackles
Let’s be honest: not every date is a fairy tale. Some people turn out to be completely different to their online profiles (cheers, Photoshop 🙄), and others can make you feel uneasy or unsafe. This campaign is about making sure you don’t have to face that alone.
Whether it’s a dodgy Tinder meet-up, a creepy encounter, or someone just not taking no for an answer — the Ask for Angela phrase gives you a lifeline in seconds.
🏴 Dim Mwy – No More
The bilingual campaign — “Dim Mwy / No More” — is proudly supported across Wales. It’s simple, effective, and could genuinely save lives. The Welsh side says:
“Os cyswlltwch chi ag aelod o staff a gofyn am ‘Angela’, byddant yn gwybod bod angen help arnoch chi.”
Translation: if you go to a member of staff and ask for Angela, they’ll know you need help.
Tidy initiative, that. 👏

🎤 Why It Matters
This campaign is more than just a poster in a bar — it’s a safety net for anyone who’s ever felt trapped, unsafe, or unsure. In a world of catfishes, creeps, and chaos, knowing that you can “Ask for Angela” and get out safely is proper comforting, mun.
So next time you’re out, tell your mates. Spread the word. Because the more people know about it, the more it works. 💪💙
