Image with a text saying "The Parkes Institute stands together with Britain’s Jewish community after last week's horrific attacks at Heaton Park synagogue. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz and all who have been affected by these events. In the spirit of James Parkes and the inclusive response of the people of Manchester, we seek mutual understanding and respect for all communities."
