Influencing and Connecting Group for Voluntary Sector Leaders of organisations supporting prison/probation experienced people

Are you a leader of a Greater Manchester VCSFE organisation supporting prison and probation experienced people? Are you interested in collaborating with other leaders to connect, influence and improve outcomes and impact?

Clinks are hosting a pilot influencing group to gauge interest and explore the potential aims and outcomes of the group. This idea came about from a project with prison experienced adults, that highlighted systemic challenges, and lack of connectivity between sector organisations.

Steps 2 Safety – Manchester Women's Aid Fundraiser

Steps to Safety walk, a 15km walk to raise vital funds for survivors of domestic abuse. The walk is a 15km (9.38 miles) walk from Manchester City Centre to Altrincham, meeting at Castlefield Bowl then finishing in Altrincham.

This 15km walk was chosen to reflect the 1 woman who is killed by an abusive partner or ex every 5 days, a statistic that reminds us of all just how important literal life-saving services like Manchester Women’s Aid are.  

Online survey: Women's Road Safety in Greater Manchester

This survey asks women about their experiences as pedestrians, runners, cyclists, drivers, passengers, and public transport users.

The survey forms part of a research project commissioned by Greater Manchester Combined Authority, which will build a detailed picture of women's experiences of safety whilst using the roads across Greater Manchester and help identify practical ways to improve safety, confidence and inclusion across Greater Manchester.

Stalking or harassment – have your say

The College of Policy is consulting on updated guidance for stalking or harassment, the authorised professional practice (APP) for stalking or harassment.

The Crime Survey for England and Wales estimate that around 1.4 million people experience stalking each year. Research indicates that stalking precedes the majority of domestic homicides.

Improving the police response to stalking is central to the government's mission to halve violence against women and girls in a decade.

Understanding a public health approach to serious violence

Serious violence continues to impact individuals, families, and communities across the UK. Traditional enforcement-led models alone have not been sufficient in reducing harm or addressing root causes. Increasingly, the public health approach has gained traction as a strategic framework for understanding and responding to serious violence in more holistic, preventative ways.
