The Metropolitan Police will be available to speak to members of the public about identifying hate crime, and the ways in which it can be reported to the police. You can find them at our hate crime reporting information stand at Golders Green Bus Station, Station Road, Edgware HA8 7BD, from 9am-12.30pm on Friday 16 October. The police also visited Edgware Bus Station on Monday to raise awareness at a separate hate crime reporting information stand.

Barnet will be hosting events online and across the borough. Hate crime is an issue that affects the entire community. No one deserves to be targeted with abuse because of their disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith, race, religion or national origin.

Middlesex University has committed to increasing their use of the space in the stand making it the new base for the London Sports Institute and School of Health & Education Departments, and in doing so strengthening the business plan for the development of the West Stand.

As a result, from 00:01 on Saturday 17 October, London will move from COVID alert level medium (Tier 1) to high (Tier 2). This level will be reviewed after a month.  These new restrictions are essential to keep Barnet safe. By following them together we can all play our part in keeping ourselves, our families and communities safe, and ensure our local economy is protected as much as possible. No social mixing

They aim to engage, enable, empower and equip people from marginalised and disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve their intellectual, social, emotional and economic independence and wellbeing. They do this through their own CHOICES programme project, located now at Allotmentz Cafe. CHOICES is an acronym for Choose Health Opportunities, Independence, Character, Employment & Skills.

We have worked with partners at the Young Barnet Foundation to establish the Space2Grow: School Holiday Food Grant Fund, with a start-up donation from Barnet Council of £50,000, providing support to holiday hunger programmes.
