This recommendation comes from Spher. The café staff are not involved in the meeting, the arrangement, or any contact between the people meeting. We are simply recommending this location as a good setting for a first hello.

What is Spher?

Spher is the free women's safety and community app behind First Meet Spot. Before you meet, share your live location with people you trust. Afterwards, stay for the communities, conversations and support.

Before the first hello

A public setting

A First Meet Spot is a participating public café that offers a familiar, easy-to-find setting for a first conversation.

Optional contact sharing

Spher provides contact-based alerts and location sharing when a user chooses to activate those features.

A clear programme boundary

The café provides the setting. Its staff do not arrange, monitor or take responsibility for a meeting.

A familiar first-meet format

The programme highlights places that are public and easy to identify without rating them or guaranteeing safety.

User-controlled sharing

The user decides whether to share information, which contacts receive it and when sharing stops.

No guarantee or supervision

A First Meet Spot recommendation is not supervision, vetting, emergency response or a guarantee about another person or location.

The app's limited role

Spher can send information to selected contacts when activated. It cannot guarantee that a contact sees or responds to it.
