Remember, remember the 5th of November... gunpowder, treason, and anti-social behaviour? Perhaps not.

Let’s make sure this year’s celebrations are safe and respectful for everyone in Lancashire.

💥 Fireworks can be fun....but they can also be distressing and dangerous if misused. Anti-social behaviour is BANG out of order, and it’s not what Bonfire Night is about.

If you witness anti-social behaviour:
📞 Call 101 for non-emergencies
📞 Call 999 in an emergency
📢 Or report anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
🚨 Emergency services will be extremely busy, so please use the most appropriate contact method and help keep lines free for those who need urgent help.
🎇 Be responsible. Be respectful. Be safe.

The visit gave the Commissioner an opportunity to meet volunteers, hear about their experiences, and witness the invaluable support they provide to those who may be vulnerable during a night out.

150 pairs of blue shoes.
150 lives remembered. 💙

On Wednesday 25 November, we're bringing the powerful Blue Shoes Exhibition to Liverpool city centre as part of my Violence Against Women and Girls Community Event.

Featuring 150 pairs of blue shoes, the exhibition represents lives believed to have been lost to domestic abuse-related su***de in 2025. It is a moving reminder of the devastating and often hidden consequences of domestic abuse.

Alongside the exhibition, local support organisations, campaigners and Merseyside Police will be available to offer information, advice and support as we mark the first of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence,

Visitors will also be able to learn more about our ongoing Taking Action campaign and the growing call for Kiena’s Law.

Throughout the afternoon, local support services, community organisations and Merseyside Police will be available to provide information, advice and support. Whether you want to learn more, speak to someone, or simply take a moment to reflect, everyone is welcome.

This event is about more than raising awareness. It is about standing with victims and survivors, challenging the attitudes that enable abuse, and sending a clear message that support is available and nobody has to face abuse alone.

Domestic abuse can have tragic and far-reaching consequences, but help is available. By coming together as a community, we can challenge abuse, support victims and survivors, and help create lasting change.

📅 Wednesday 25 November 2026
🕛 12pm – 3pm

Yesterday, the Blue Shoes Exhibition was displayed in Skelmersdale Concourse, as part of its tour across Lancashire.

The exhibition consists of 150 pairs of shoes painted by Fylde Coast Women's Aid, representing 150 suspected su***des linked to domestic abuse in 2025, and is part of the campaign for Kiena's Law, shining a light on this important issue and encouraging visitors to sign the online petition, launched in partnership with AAFDA - Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse..

The campaign for change follows the death of Kiena Dawes, a young mother from Lancashire who tragically took her own life in July 2022 after suffering prolonged domestic abuse. Her death drew widespread attention because it highlighted how domestic abuse can have devastating, long-term effects, and raised questions about whether more could have been done to protect her.

The Skelmersdale exhibition was supported by the LibertyCentre WL which provides support to adults, young people, and children impacted by domestic abuse across West Lancashire.
