Event to be held in memory of Jo Cox

No photo description available.

On Friday 21st June, I will be hosting ‘More in Common’.

The event will mark the anniversary of the death of Jo Cox who was an MP who was sadly murdered on the 16th June 2016 in her constituency doing the work she loved, as an MP committed to helping the public.

Each year the Jo Cox foundation ask communities to set up events where residents have a chance to enjoy being together and celebrate what we have in common in our communities rather than what divides us.

This event will mark a host of events happening around the country for Jo’s ‘Great Get Together’ weekend.

There will be a keynote speaker from HOPE not hate (Mahmooda Qureshi) who will be discussing their charity work. There will also be a time for reflection about Jo and some activities to help us celebrate what we have in common.

Jo’s motto was ‘we have more in common than that which divides us’ and I hope this event will bring the city together to remember that.

There will also be a collection for the Jo Cox Foundation.

The event will start at 4PM on Friday 21st June in the Georgian Suite in the Art Gallery.

I hope you can join me on this day. Please RSVP to [email protected]
