Common Ground
From the screen
to the street
Meet the neighbours. Visit the places they love. Learn the words that matter to them. Do something together. And know what to do if you see hate.
Where to start
Why it works
Meeting changes us
Across 515 studies in 38 countries, meeting people of another group reduced prejudice almost everywhere, mostly by easing anxiety and building empathy (Pettigrew and Tropp, 2006).
Even on screen
When Mohamed Salah joined Liverpool, hate crime in Merseyside fell 16% against a comparison area (Alrababa'h et al., 2021). Familiar, liked people living their faith openly make a difference.
Most of us are ready
88% of Britons say they are comfortable with people of other faiths (Ipsos, 2023). The neighbours are nearer than we think.
People who bring us together
Each described in its own words; registered charities or long-running programmes. Listing is not endorsement, and no organisation here is our partner.
