Café Hope

Southport special


Listen Later

A special Café Hope where we hear from people who helped those affected by the killing of 3 girls in Southport and the subsequent riot in the town.

Retired Mike has become the unofficial caretaker of the flowers and gifts left at the police cordon which is outside his front gate. Liam helped organise the rebuilding efforts to the mosque and neighbouring streets.

And we hear from Ibrahim, the iman at the mosque in Southport, on how they barricaded themselves inside during the unrest, and how overwhelmed he is with the help they've since received.

Café Hope is our virtual Radio 4 coffee shop, where guests pop in for a brew and a chat to tell Rachel Burden what they’re doing to make things better in big and small ways. You can contact us on [email protected]
