We were delighted to play a part in the first Listening Circle alongside Women Friendly Leeds and West Yorkshire Police. The session, jointly hosted by WHM included senior police officers listening to a discussion about women's safety in Leeds, while working together on some artwork.

Great session last night

Our recent multi-faith event in Bradford has helped harness this strength

A fantastic example of cause and effect 👏👏👇👇

We now have 100 examples of new, innovative and promising practice on the #PracticeBank since launching 1 year ago. We’re grateful to the 200 contributors who’ve worked with us to share their work and experiences with colleagues and forces across the country. 1/5
