Bringing people together to talk about the tough issues around how we can live together well.
Everyone is welcome to join these safe spaces AS we discuss issues in local neighbourhoods that people want to address, eat together and get to know each other.
In 2022 – 23 we Ran Real People, Honest Talks in West Yorkshire and Birmingham.

Our objectives
Bring people together within local communities by providing opportunities for positive, constructive and personal encounters and interaction between people who live near one another and have different outlooks, cultures, attitudes or beliefs.
Facilitate open and honest conversation about issues of concern to everyday people in local communities that could otherwise be difficult to talk about.
Create safe spaces in which difficult issues associated with living together well amidst differences in outlook, culture, attitudes and beliefs can be discussed openly and constructively, at city-wide level, and in local communities.
Provide a springboard for further conversations, interactions or collaborative action, strengthening local civil society.
