The Women4Change group has asked Unity Cornwall to help them to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee on the 5th June. The event will be held at the Malabar Children's & Community Centre, Truro on Tuesday, 5th June 2012 from 12 noon until 4pm. The day will be an informal event, but it would be marvelous everyone made a bit of an effort to dress for the day as it is obviously a special occasion. All ages of children, young people and their families

We have a limit to the amount of people we can invite and therefore we really need to know the number of people coming in advance. If you are interested in attending, could you please let us know as soon as possible via E-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , but no later than 30th May 2012.

There will be a variety of food served at lunchtime (e.g. Chinese and Caribbean cuisine, sandwiches, etc), which will be free to all those who have been invited. This will include soft drink (non-alcoholic), tea, coffee and cake and sweet things - so bring proof of your invitation.

The Women4Change and Unity Cornwall look forward to see you all there.

The group 'Women4Change' held every week at the Malabar Children's Centre will soon be hosting a cooking demonstration event promoting the best of Chinese cuisine.

The Chef will be Mrs Wong who will be sharing her receipes for quick home meals. Mrs Wong has over 30 years of experience working as a professional in Chinese restraurants and catering for private functions. This will be a very rare treat for all those who attend. The event was to be held at the end of March 2012 , but unfortunately it has now been postponed.  However, a new date for the event will be revealed closer to the time.

To take part in this event and for further details, please contact Unity Cornwall on 01872 264232 or email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Searchlight opposes racism and fascism in Britain and abroad.

It was founded in 1962 as an occasional publication and press agency specialising in gathering and analysing intelligence on the far right.
Searchlight magazine has appeared monthly since 1975 and is the first port of call for activists, journalists, politicians and academics seeking information or organised racism in Britain.
It exposes the fascists and racists' illegal activities and alerts the anti-fascist community to our opponents' intentions, plans and trends.
Searchlight has been at the forefront of campaigning against the BNP in recent years. We believe that our locally customised newspapers, ward-specific leaflets, telephone canvassing and direct mail operation have made a real difference in defeating the BNP across the country.
Working with dozens of local anti-BNP groups, Searchlight has mobilised thousands of people and is developing new coalitions that can defeat the British National Party and English Defence League and rebuild local communities.

Unity are looking for individuals who are willing to be interviewed and to talk about their encounters relating to racial abuse.

If you have been on the receiving end of any racist hate crime, e.g. verbally or physically attack, discriminated against in the workplace, know of any person or establishment inciting racial hatred within your school, college, work, pub or club in any social or formal environment, please Contact Us to arrange a one to one confidential meeting to discuss your involvement in this project.

Sam Glazesbrook in a student at University of Falmouth studying film, photography and reporting.  However,  the project itself will  not be affliated with the University of Falmouth, but through a personel interest and the sense of injustice he feels about those people living in Cornwall and suffering from racist abuse.  Sam will be working closely with Unity to create a short film documentary that will highlight the adverse affects racism has on individuals, families and the commuity.

Unity encourages you to consider taking part and supporting this rare opportunity to 'have your say'.

Unity Cornwall will be engaging women predominately from a Black, Minority and Ethnic (BME) background, including Mothers with Mixed-Heritage children - we hope to start with three separate groups initially. These groups will decide from themselves the type of services they would prefer to actively participate in. Activities will be supported by Unity and all its working partnerships. Individual plans will be work on and realistic targets set for each group in order from them to become an independent constituted community group - again, this can be achieved through partnership with Unity and other public and voluntary agencies.

Unity Cornwall recognises that any diversity issues that disadvantage individuals, further alienates individuals who are already isolated rurally and compounds experiences of racism and increase their own and their families' isolatoin from the mainstream society. We hope to tackle aspects of confidence and self-esteem and to help develop individual skills to be able to have an active role in the local community and with the ability to meet their own health, educational and social needs for themselves and their families. The Groups will be working on a model that will cascade the skills within the group into the community facilitating events to help raise cultural awareness and promote community cohesion.

If you would like more information about these developing groups, please contact us by telephone or email.

Unity Cornwall believes in equal opportunities for all people in our community.

LAUNCH OF THE CITIZENS REPORT

Citizens leading on safer streets and homes.

This site gives more choice to people who want to alert others about crime and other harmful incidents in their neighbourhoods. Feel free to view crimes reported and featured on this site but you can also make an instant and anonymous crime mapped report on the exact location, type and suspected motivation, for crime and other community safety issues.

Citizens Report does not pass these reports on to the police or other criminal justice services.Most crimes occur outside of our homes yet the majority of street crime, even serious street crimes such as: robbery, sexual assaults, hate crime, violence and knife crime, remain unreported (residential based crimes are currently excluded to protect privacy).

If you have suffered or witnessed street crime, use our online crime reporting service to immediately inform other citizens about the potentials harms in their area.
