What should have been a joyful and unifying event turned into a moment of horror when a vehicle struck members of the crowd on Water Street, injuring dozens of people, including children. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected; the injured, their families, and the wider community left reeling from this distressing event.
We commend the swift and courageous response of the emergency services and those members of the public who stepped forward to help in the aftermath. Their compassion and bravery exemplify the values we hold dear across our faith communities.
At Barnet Multi Faith Forum, we are committed to promoting peace, mutual respect, and community cohesion. In times of tragedy, our strength lies in our unity. We stand in solidarity with the people of Liverpool and all those working to bring healing and comfort in the days ahead.
As people of many faiths and beliefs, we draw upon our shared commitment to care for one another and to work together for a more compassionate society. Let us all be reminded of the power of community, in Liverpool, in Barnet, and beyond.
You Never Walk Alone.
