YOUNGSTERS from a range of backgrounds are designing a mural for the Grahame Park Estate to give an idea of what hate crime means to them.
The project being co-ordinated by the Colindale Safer Neighbourhoods policing team is being run for Peace Week.
On Saturday the group gathered on the estate for a talk about hate crime and what it means to their lives, and are now developing the mural.
The images, with the theme we are one peaceful community, will be painted onto a wall in the estate before a grand unveiling next month.
PC Paul Sparks from Barnet's diversity team, said: "This is an important event that enables youths from Barnet's less privileged areas to discuss how they are perceived by the police, adults and what hate crime means to them.”
