What is the Walk & Wheel Campaign?
It is a campaign that aims to raise awareness about safe spaces.
The Walk and Wheel will be held on Saturday, 30th June at 4pm. Click here for the full programme.
Why do we need to Unite for Safe Spaces?
We, especially young people and people with disabilities, are all easy targets of acts of violence such as being mugged, harassed, bullied, or being sexually and physically abused. Increasing rates of crime over recent months is of major concern to all of us. We all need to come | |
together to take action collectively, to speak out against violence, and assert and reclaim the right we all have to feel safe and to live free from violence.
If we all don’t take action, then the violence will continue! If you agree, then help us spread this message. Click here to see what some of our celebrity friends have to say about this campaign! <<link to short video >>
