Happy International Women’s day 2022 to all those wonderful women out there!

Today we were hosted by the fantastic Dean Rogers at Manchester Cathedral for this unique event that bought together religiously diverse women to connect.

We heard from Deputy Lieutenant Karan Lee & High Sheriff Diane Hawkins about inter faith relations, women empowerment and some touching personal stories where many of us resonated.

This Hate Crime Awareness Week, we're taking a stand against hate

No hate crime is acceptable. We all have a right to live without fear, hostility & intimidation

Let’s make Greater Manchester the place where we look out for each other

How Do We Engage With People Across Difference? In many neighbourhoods across England, different faith and ethnic communities live and work next to each other, yet rarely interact.

This week in Greater Manchester, we are celebrating Hate Crime Awareness week 2022.

Near Neighbours recently collaborated with Polish Social Club and Supporting sisters to bring together diverse communities of Bury to talk about hate crime and to build friendships.

We ended the night with some team building exercises of marshmallow and spaghetti towers 😋

A big thanks to Greater Together Manchester Europia and Greater Manchester Police for supporting this event.

Looking forward to this event during Greater Manchester’s Hate Crime Awareness week. See poster for details 👇🏼

We are delighted to invite you for this unique event on the 4th of February at 6pm

Working in partnership with Supporting Sister and Near Neighbours we want to bring people together.

Our goal is to increase awareness about hate crime and discuss how we can prevent it.

You will take part in interactive team building tasks
Refreshments and dinner will be provided.
We have special guests from local authorities sharing their views on the subject.

We met a few months back at the 10 year Near Neighbours anniversary event. It was fab to catch up on what each of us have been up to during lockdown and now, networks we are involved with and upcoming events/ opportunities.
