“Misogyny is the soil in which violence against women grows” - Mel Jeffs, CEO Nottingham Women’s Centre

As the long-awaited Domestic Abuse Bill enters its committee stage, join us in urging the government to consider misogyny — hatred and contempt for women — as a hate crime.

In April 2020, we were proud to embark on a partnership with Popsa; a mobile app which helps customers curate their memories and produce beautiful keepsakes such as photo books.

In the wake of the Covid-19 crisis - and seeing the impact that isolation was having on people around the country - Popsa pledged to use its platform to tackle loneliness in partnership with The Jo Cox Foundation. 

The Great Get Together, inspired by Jo Cox and an initiative of The Jo Cox Foundation, is a vehicle for people to take action in their communities and bring people together across divides. We know all too well the devastation that racism can cause. It has no place in our society, and our work is rooted in the belief that strong, compassionate, and well-connected communities can only exist where there is equality and inclusivity.

We stand strongly against racism and violence in all forms. At this time, we stand in solidarity with Black people in our communities across the UK and around the world.

Studies show that over half of us don’t know our neighbours. This was certainly true before this crisis began, but is it still true now?

One of the main inspirations in these times is the newfound connections we are building. For some of us, it’s shopping for the elderly neighbour we haven’t spoken to previously, for others, it’s joining a WhatsApp group with everyone on their street. 

In the seventh week of lockdown, people could use some much-needed positivity. Nothing has been more positive in this worrying time than individuals and communities up and down the country coming together to act with love, kindness and compassion.
