People and Communities RADEQUAL

What is RADEQUAL

Working together for stronger communities.

Watch an introduction from The Common-Sense Network.

We are RADICAL. We are EQUAL. = RADEQUAL.

This campaign started in 2016. It was made with local people, for local people.

It follows three simple ideas. We call them the Three C’s:

1. Challenge

We look at the challenges that may worry people in their area. This helps us spot things that might cause problems or tension.

We look at:

  • Local events or incidents
  • People's feelings and actions
  • Not just facts and figures.

2. Connect

We bring people and groups together. This helps build trust and stronger communities.

We:

  • Help neighbours meet and talk
  • Support local groups and organisations
  • Welcome new voices
  • Encourage long-time residents to get involved.

3. Champion

We stand up for fairness and equality. We celebrate what makes Manchester special, the diversity in the city.

We:

  • Share values like respect and kindness
  • Help people talk about tough topics
  • Ask big questions to build strong thinking
  • Work to stop hate and protect those at risk.
