We are here to support you

The violence against Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities last month is not an isolated phenomenon. It is a manifestation of deep-rooted issues that have been simmering beneath the surface for years. 

The catalyst for the riots may have been the tragic stabbings in Southport, but the underlying causes are far more complex and troubling. 

Misinformation, spread by far-right groups, has fuelled a wave of hatred and violence that has targeted innocent individuals based on the colour of their skin, their religion, or their ethnic background. 

This violence is not just an attack on individuals; it is an attack on the very fabric of our society. 

It seeks to divide us, to sow fear and mistrust, and to undermine the progress we have made towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society. 

The impact of the violence on BAME communities in August cannot be overstated. 

For many, it has brought back painful memories of past injustices and discrimination. For others, it has created new fears and anxieties about their safety and the safety of their loved ones. 

The CSP BAME network has heard from many of our members who have expressed feelings of anger, fear, and isolation.These are not just emotions; they are a direct response to the very real threats that our communities are facing. 

We understand that the psychological and emotional toll of these events is significant. That is why the CSP BAME network is committed to providing pastoral support to all those affected. 

We are here to listen, to support, and to stand with our members in this difficult time.

The CSP BAME network stands firm in its commitment to fight against these forces of division and hatred. 

We will not be intimidated, and we will not be silenced. 

Join us on the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) network.
