Had such a lovely time, a safe place to explore current issues. A journey of Hope ☺️

[Dr Natalija Atas @AtasNatalija]

It was a real pleasure to speak with Phoebe (a brilliant freelance drama facilitator and director), Mohammed (a talented musician) and Fadi (a craftsman and passionate volunteer)- both members of Asylum Link Merseyside. Tune into this important @PRAN_Action episode! Coming soon!

This woman holding up her 'Hope, not hate' sign with men shouting in her face is becoming the iconic image of tonight's riot in Southport.

We tried to speak to her straight after shooting the video but she looked traumatised and didn't want to talk.

What is happening 🥺

[The Post @liverpoolpost]

🚨 BREAKING: The protest in Southport is turning into a riot. We've seen bricks thrown through the local mosque's window and a police van is burning. Several people - including officers - have been hurt. People are shouting at the police for protecting "disgusting nonces".

I am lost for words 😢

[Bootle Bucks @BootleFCBucks]

Everyone rioting in Southport tonight has terrified hundreds of kids, who are already terrified. They’ve thrown bottles and smashed stuff all over a town in mourning. You are all a disgrace. The poor families must be mortified on top of their grief. Gutted

The work is being presented alongside the incredible Afloat theatre showing their new play ‘Afloat’ (there’s a performance tomorrow night at 7:30pm and I urge you to see it if you can).
