 The PeaceWeek 2010 Launch event was a brilliant evening, a real success. Lots of young people and their parents turned out. Great acts, lots of fun, and one or two surprises. More photos here.

 The WearPeace project stems from an existing relationship between the School of Art and Design, CARISMA (Community Alliance for Renewal Inner South Manchester Area) and the Police’s Xcalibre Task force looking at ways to change people’s perceptions and attitudes towards guns.
The aim of the WearPeace Project is to create a range of clothing and accessories under the WearPeace label that can sold locally/ nationally / international to promote the “save a life not take a life’ message. It is envisaged that all the clothes / accessories will contain a small quantity of decommissioned gun metal or metal from an unused bullet – as designer tags or fashion details, to reinforce the message of every garment purchased will help to take another gun out of circulation.
Check out some of the designs at the WearPeace blogsite.
We are planning to showcase some of the fashion work done so far with pupils from Cedar Mount, Trinity and Whalley Range Schools at this year’s OSBAs on March 13.

This is the second tournament that has been put on and we hope to repeat it every year and expand the number of schools involved.
On Thursday 11th March and Friday 12th March 2010 Police Officers from the Neighbourhood Engagement Team and First Group will visit all of the schools to give a brief educational talk about safety and the consequences of anti social behaviour on public transport, present trophies to all teams and football boots to the winning team.

If we can punish anti-social behviour, why not reward Outstanding Social Behaviour?  That’s the basis of the OSBAs, Manchester’s Peace Awards. Now in their third year, the OSBA Award Ceremony and Dinner will be on Saturday March 13 at the Ramada Hotel, Piccadilly, Manchester City Centre. Have a look at the OSBA website for photos of last year’s glittering event. Ticket details and more information available soon. If you would like to book your place now, or just register interest, contact the Carisma Office. Email or phone 0161 226 9905.

What will make the difference in YOUR community?
“Redeeming Our Communities” (ROC) is a national initiative by Christian organisation, CityLinks. It’s aim is to be a catalyst for community transformation by promoting prayer and policing in partnership for crime and disorder reduction. After a big city-wide event last year, the ROC Conversations are a series of local events designed to bring churches, communities and police together to discuss practical ideas and ways of working together for the good of the community. The central Manchester event is during PeaceWeek and we are pleased to include it in our events schedule and encourage lots of you to go along (even if you’re not part of a church). Hear about existing projects that could be used in your area, dream up new ideas and get them kick-started. 
Venue is the New Covenant Church, Matthews Lane, Levenshulme M12 4QW (near Netto on the A6). Time: 7.30pm. Admission free.
Email for more information. Find out more about ROC here.
