We are appalled and saddened by the recent acts of violence, racism, and Islamophobia in towns and cities across the UK.
West Yorkshire is a place that has many diverse communities and welcomes people from many different backgrounds. As a partnership, we send a message of support and solidarity to those affected by the violence who now may feel unsafe in their communities.
As housing organisations, we have a crucial role in fostering safe and inclusive communities. The violence we have witnessed does not reflect the values we hold, and these actions have no place in our communities.
The West Yorkshire Housing Partnership takes a zero-tolerance approach towards racism and violence of any kind.
