Rushcliffe Community Cohesion Network |
|
 'Community Cohesion' is a bit jargonistic isn't it?! If you can get your head around the title you'll soon discover that Rushcliffe Community Cohesion Network is essentially about bringing people together from many different backgrounds, races, cultures, faiths and beliefs - exisiting networks - to enable better understanding and communication between them; a great way to improve relationships and respect in our Community. Lindsay Knott heads up this project and you can contact her on 0115 9816988 or by emailing her
