Hope High School students were invited to an awareness event at Skelmersdale Youth Zone for Violence Against Women and Girls - 'Get the Message Campaign'

The event was opened by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire, Clive Grunshaw. The event promoted the  #GetTheMessage campaign, which is a behaviour change campaign aimed at men and boys to highlight the impact of low-level harassment on women and girls.

The day involve a range of activities such as:

  • A session with the Liberty Team - Coercive control / Healthy Relationships
  • Stalls from various partners promoting their goals for VAWG
  • 5-a-side football tournament
  • Pool
  • Badminton

Three students from Hope High School teamed up with two students from Ormskirk High School for a Football Tournament. The team made it through to the finals and won.

Staff are extremely proud of the engagement, sportsmanship and respect the students displayed throughout the event.
