We’ll increase the visibility of challenges faced by our towns by reaching national media, lobbying key national bodies and working with policy makers across regional and national government.

The fight against hate must take place by fighting the sense of loss and powerlessness on which hatred feeds. It is through supporting, connecting and empowering communities that we can create real resilience and build strong, ambitious, inclusive towns.
