Councillor Kerri Harold, portfolio holder for public health and tackling inequalities at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “It is fantastic to see the partnerships from across the Humber come together and talk about such important issues in such a creative way. “Being an online event will open up the conversation to even more people and I very much look forward to seeing the performance by the Certain Curtain Theatre Company, as well as hearing from Luke and Ryan Hart on their own lived experience of domestic abuse. “I’d recommend any resident in the East Riding to attend online to increase their own knowledge and understanding of such an important subject.” The content of this event may cause people some distress, if you require support about domestic abuse, please contact any of the services available in your local area.
