We’ve been back at Wythenshawe Forum telling people how to report hate crime. We met lots of interesting people who had their own stories of hate crime and what they do if they witness or experience hate crime. #PutPeopleFirst #GMAgainstHate #NATIONALHCAW #SpreadLoveNotHate

The students were lively, friendly, keen and welcoming. They really seemed to enjoy the communication activity and we enjoyed watching them do it!
