7 Organisations Combatting Misogyny in Nottingham

Wed 08 Mar 2017

Nottinghamshire Police are the first police force in the country to rule misogyny as a hate crime. That includes physical or verbal harassment directed at women, because they are a woman, via any means. So, if you’re walking home and a group of guys decide to shout inappropriate, sexual comments at you, or someone grabs your arse on a night out, you’re well within your rights to report the behaviour to the authorities.

All you have to do is ring 101, and if the assault is particularly severe, call 999. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the perpetrator will be punished, but it does mean the police can collect information regarding these types of incidents – where, when and how often they happen – and work on making the streets of Notts safer for all. It also means that they can direct you to any support and guidance you may need following the event. There are some incredible local organisations who’ll go out of their way to help you...

10 Notts Hip Hop Artists to Watch Out For

Thu 23 Feb 2017

The UK hip hop scene is having somewhat of a resurgence these days. There’s a big light shining on London, but Nottingham has always been a birthplace of premium hip hop talent, from Out da Ville rapping circles around the rest of the country, to Pariz-1 proving that she can go bar to bar with any MC. The Nottingham pool of talent has always remained full, so we’ve collated a list of current hip hop artists to get to know this year.

It’s worth noting that without a few Nottingham rap legends laying down the groundwork beforehand, we may not have many of the artists on this list. So before we start, we give a big shout out to Scorzayzee, Wariko, Pariz-1, Out da Ville, Stan Crook Ed, J Gold, Fif Nova, 1st Blood, Cappo, Land Lordz, Fort Nottz, Smokes and Bluntz.

Texting While Driving is Not Okay

Fri 27 Jan 2017

Mobile phones. So ubiquitous in today’s society that we can barely go ten minutes without checking them. Must drop your mate a text about plans later. Must have a quick scroll through social media. Must Whatsapp a daft meme. Must check emails. It’s nice to be connected, but sometimes we need to put the damned things down and concentrate on what we’re doing. Especially when we’re driving.

Looking After Each Other in Nottingham

Wed 07 Dec 2016

2017 has given us a bit of a rough time. It feels like we’ve flopped off the cliff-edge of stability and are currently hurtling towards Earth at rapid speed, being pounded by flying debris as we go. It’s been pretty difficult to see the bright side at times, and well easy to wallow in puddles of doom and despair. But fear not; Nottingham City Council have a scheme – Looking After Each Other – that'll hopefully get us stepping in the right direction...
