GREATER MANCHESTER WE STAND TOGETHER LAUNCH EVENT

#WeStandTogether is established in the wake of the Paris attacks in 2015 and became a registered charity following the Manchester Arena attack in May 2017. It highlights and tackle issues surrounding social division at all levels. It is committed to promoting community cohesion, and understand the difficult questions being asked building a better and more inclusive society. We do this by being active within the communities in which we live and by debating issues in a spirit of mutual respect. We Stand Together was registered as a charity, committed to work for cohesion. Each year, May is designated as #WeStandTogether Month so that the community can use it as a focus for cohesion events and a springboard for more work that brings people from diverse backgrounds together. It gives community groups a chance to put something on in their community or neighbourhood and reach out to those who are different to build respect, understanding and joint work.
