The recent events across the UK have undoubtedly had a profound impact on our communities. We understand that these incidents can be deeply upsetting and distressing, especially for people of colour.
At Harmless, we believe in creating a safe and inclusive space for everyone. We stand firmly against racism and discrimination in all its forms.
We are all deeply concerned about the recent events of unrest in our community. We stand firmly against all forms of violence and destruction. We understand that many are feeling frustrated, but we believe that peaceful dialogue and constructive actions are the pathways to meaningful change.
Our organisation is committed to working towards solutions that uplift and empower all members of our community. We urge everyone to come together, engage in thoughtful conversations and support each other in these challenging times.
Peace, unity and cooperation are the cornerstones of our community’s strength.
It’s important to remember that you are not alone if you are feeling unsettled or scared by recent events.
If you’re struggling to cope with what you’re seeing or feeling, please know that help is available. Talking about how you feel can be a big help. You can reach out to a trusted friend, or a mental health professional.
