The attack on a synagogue in Manchester has deeply saddened us all at Arawak Walton. Our thoughts are with those who have been killed and seriously injured, their loved ones and with everyone who has been affected by this awful incident. Our Jewish community should never feel unsafe in our city, or anywhere.

Manchester is at its best when we come together — people of all faiths, cultures and backgrounds — standing side by side against hate and division. We cannot allow fear or prejudice to drive wedges between us.

At this difficult time, we want to express our solidarity with our Jewish friends, tenants, colleagues and neighbours. We are with you. And together, as one community, we will continue to speak out for respect, dignity and unity for all.

At Arawak Walton, our values are rooted in inclusivity, respect and anti-racism. We stand firm in rejecting hate of all kinds and in building communities where everyone feels safe and supported.
