Free WalkSafe app launches in Manchester

The WalkSafe app, which is free to download, is an initiative aimed at helping people make safe journeys no matter the time of day.

It lets people pick known safe routes through the city, as well as allowing them to share their location with family or friends, as well as sending an automatic alert out if a person fails to reach their intended destination.

The roll out of this app goes hand in hand with the steps already taken by the City Council and its partners across Manchester to make the nighttime economy safe for everyone, but especially women.

Restorative Justice Forum – Healing Community Harm

This is a Restorative Justice Forum event. Why me?, along with the rest of the UK, were deeply affected by the Southport stabbings at the end of last month, where 3 children were killed and 10 people were injured. We watched on as Islamophobic and racist violence spread across England and Northern Ireland, leading to further harm, fear, injuries, damage to local communities and the breakdown of relationships. Why me? stands against hate and racism in all its forms, and in solidarity with the people of Southport and with communities affected by the violence.
