Positive Voices North West Community Cohesion Programme

Our Positive Voices programme in the North West will specifically be implemented in Lancashire. 

Through extensive research we have identified specific areas in the UK that have high levels of community tensions and low levels of preventative activity.We felt our work was needed and relevant in the North West because:

• Numerous communities in the region remain deeply segregated on racial and religious lines.
• Parts of the North West attract very high levels of support for far right political groups. In several communities this directly relates to a rising level of threat to minority communities in the area.
•  Across the regions, teachers and other locally based professionals have told us that they feel there are inadequate resources to counter growing divisions between communities.
•  Burnley is a community committed to addressing and tackling these issues in the years since the 2001 Race Riots. 

Central to the Anne Frank North West Community Cohesion Programme is our partnership is The Princes Trust. The Anne Frank Trust has already developed a strong working relationship with The Princes Trust North West regional team through our programmes across the UK. This programme partnership with The Princes Trust’s team (based in Burnley) will help to manage the strategic aims and objectives of this programme, identify long term funding opportunities and build successful partnerships with local organisations.
