    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. roc

    Venue is the New Covenant Church, Matthews Lane, Levenshulme M12 4QW (near Netto on the A6). Time: 7.30pm. Admission free.

Is gang crime a symptom of something deeper that has yet to be dealt with, or is it a problem that has been ’solved’? How are those life-chances for our young people coming along? Come and share your views, not just on the negatives, but on positive ways forward. Remember: Positive Energy Always Creates Elevation.
