About Cheshire Voices for Equality

We are a passionate group of activists from Sandbach, a rural town in the UK who are advocating for Cheshire to be a positive and safe place for all marginalised groups to live. We are a student-led unincorporated association and we strongly believe that you do not need special skills or experience to be an activist. The ocean of anti-racism activism is immense – we fit into a particular stream and want to work as hard as we can here.

Our aim

We aim to bring social justice issues to the forefront of discussions in rural spaces where they're not usually talked about. We grew up existing within spaces where social justice issues were not discussed and when they were, people often held harmful views about marginalised groups. We want to inspire people to take the onus into their hands and always try to learn more about marginalised groups and how to best support them. Overall, we aim to help people empower others to speak out against racism and injustice against marginalised groups.
