Many of you who live and work in St Helens and Halton can’t have failed to notice a change in tone in the public conversations both online and in person over the last 6 months. The overt racism and bigotry that we are beginning to see is worrying and unsettling and for those of us with shared values on fairness and justice must challenge this where we are able to. Halton & St Helens VCA is working with everyone we can to support local groups to be safe and to continue to deliver all of their work.
We are attaching some helpful and timely resources from Hope Not Hate and we will be actively working to support local groups, people and communities to challenge, whilst staying safe.
If you need to speak to someone and/or need support with anything currently affecting your group or people you know please get in touch with me personally on syeoman@haltonsthelensvca.org.uk or by phone 01744 457100/01928 592405
