Join the Exit Hate Trust on Thursday 13 February 13:00-15:00 to learn about the CARE Champions programme.
This project aims to support the local work that is already going on locally and to raise awareness about the Extreme Right-Wing (ERW).
Building on your existing skills, the Exit Hate Trust aim to upskill people who support vulnerable people to understand the dangers of extremism and what they can do to counter it - creating safe spaces to talk (reducing the need for people to talk to extremists), providing alternatives to extremist messages and signposting people to get help.
This event is taking place on Thursday 13 February 13:00 - 15:00 in the Council Chamber, Havering Town Hall, RM1 3BB.
