A FORUM, which aimed to give women from minority ethnic and faith communities the chance to share their experiences of hate crime, has been postponed.

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) for Essex was due to host the women-only coffee morning on Saturday, November 22 at the Grays Community Hall.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the event – called the Female Voices Forum – has now been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date.

Once a new date has been arranged further details will be circulated.

A spokesperson for the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner said: "We would like to apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience this may have caused.
