Plans take shape for peace walk

Plans are moving ahead for the International Day of Peace Walk, which takes place in Middlesbrough on Saturday September 23, beginning at 10am. The suggested route (subject to confirmation) is Trinity Centre, St Alphonsus Church and Hindu Temple, all in North Ormesby, Southfield Road Mosque and the International Centre, where there will be a display of other faith groups.

Lunch will be served by the charity Investing in People and Culture (IPC).

After lunch, the walk will continue to the Methodist Asylum Project (MAP) on Borough Road, as well as the Chinese Community Centre and Salvation Army. Please register your intention to take part in the walk by emailing strategic cohesion and migration manager Jolande Mace at scm@middlesbrough.gov.uk.

Let’s make this a relevant occasion and create an annual event on this important issue.
