As part of our community cohesion work FC United is very pleased to publicise the events that a number of organisations we work with are running as part of Manchester City Council’s Hate Crime Awareness Week.

Residents of Woodward Court, a residential project for formerly homeless people in Miles Platting have worked with CreAteam and Miles Platting based police officers to make a radio programme about hate crime which was broadcast on FCUM Radio on Monday 21st January at 22:30 and will be repeated on Thursday 24th, Friday 25th and Saturday 26th January at 9.30am.

Manchester Mencap have made a video about hate crime which you can find here.

Our friends at Youth on Solid Ground are organising an event for young people on Saturday 26th January 2013 @ 6-9pm at their JNR8 Youth Centre, 82 Cromwell Avenue, Whalley Range,M16 0BG. Young people will be able to work with a graffiti artist on the subject of hate crime.

Tony Lloyd, and Crime Commissioner, said: "Hate crime is a blight on our society. No-one should be a victim of crime simply because of who they are. This kind of work is incredibly important as it helps people understand what hate crime is and shows that police and other agencies will listen to the diverse communities affected and take it seriously. By standing together we can stamp it out for good."
