Salford Interfaith Annual Group Meeting

Post by Apprentice Community Safety Advisor Christian Krebs:

I attended the Salford Interfaith Annual Group Meeting on Wednesday, February 20, where we had a stall providing information regarding Home Safety Checks and fire safety advice for the public.

We discussed escape plans, safe cooking and overall fire safety in the home and allowed members of the public to take some of the information home to read in their own time and to practice their escape plans with the family.

We were also able to organise several Home Safety Checks for people in Salford.



At the AGM there were many different people from different organisations as well as the Mayor of Salford and many religious leaders of various faiths.  The Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd also attended to show his support to the community.

This was the first event held in Swinton to bring together people from different faiths from the surrounding community and the purpose of the meeting was to show not only the differences but also the similarities many of the religions share.
