About 17-24-30 NationalHCAW
17-24-30 was initially founded as a Facebook group in March 2009 by Mark Healey and Ryan Parkins to mark the 10th anniversary of the London Nail Bomb attacks on Brixton, Brick Lane and Soho.
17-24-30 takes it's name from the dates of the three attacks; 17th April, 24th April and 30th April.
Since April 2010 we have organised the three April Acts of Remembrance. Two smaller outreach events in Brixton and Brick Lane on the 17th and 24th April, and a larger gathering in Soho on the 30th April.
In 2010 17-24-30 evolved into a small charity called 17-24-30 No To Hate Crime Campaign registered with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. HMRC Ref: XT30898.
In January 2019 we formally changed our name to 17-24-30 National Hate Crime Awareness Week also referred to as 17-24-30 or 17-24-30 NationalHCAW, and in August 2019 registered as a charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission. Charity No 1184819

Planning your NationalHCAW
17-24-30 NationalHCAW encourages local authorities (Police and Councils), key partners and communities affected by hate crime to work together to tackle local hate crime.
The week of action takes place between the second to third Saturday in October each year.
It aims to bring people together to stand in solidarity with those affected by hate crime, to remember those we have lost, and support those who need ongoing support.
We run an annual campaign promoting H.O.P.E.
- Hate crime awareness - running awareness events to increase public knowledge.
- Operational responses to hate crime - encouraging people to think about how they would respond if hate crime happened to someone they know.
- Preventing hate crime where possible.
- Empowering communities to report hate crime and work together.

In an emergency always call the police 999
In the first instance we encourage people to report to the Police however if you don't want to speak to your local police then you can try your local council (some but not all provide hate crime reporting guidance on their websites), or you can report an incident to a third party organisation.
Police
You can report hate crime directly to your local police or via True Vision. Dial 999 if it is an emergency and you need immediate assistance. Call the police on 101 when it is not an emergency.
Councils
Check out the national Google Map we have created which provides links to every council website in the UK. We have ticked in green those that provide hate crime information on their websites, and crossed in red those that don't.
Our hope is that every council around the UK will eventually provide basic hate crime information and advice on their websites.
Third Party Organisations
There are a number of specialist hate crime organisations that you can contact for advice and support. We have provided links to some of them on our website.

National Hate Crime Awareness Week Archive
In September 2009, Ian Baynham was homophobically abused and beaten unconscious in Trafalgar Square. After two weeks in a coma he died from the injuries he sustain. His death inspired the first London Vigil Against Hate Crime which was held on the 30th October 2009.
It was one of the first events of its kind to go viral across social media, over 29,000 people shared the event on Facebook and over 10,000 people attended the first vigil in Trafalgar Square.
The London Vigils took place between 2009 to 2012, whilst other vigils took place in Brighton, Kettering, Milton Keynes and Norwich, amongst others around the UK.
In 2012 the London Vigils evolved into National Hate Crime Awareness Week #NationalHCAW.
Each year our volunteers;
- Organise the national week across the UK.
- Write to key figures across the social and political spectrum encouraging their participation.
- Create and distribute resources to promote the week.
- Use our social media to spread a national message of H.O.P.E.
- Organise a service of Hope and Remembrance in St Paul's Cathedral, London.
- Register events and promote them on our NationalHCAW Google Maps.
- Work in partnership with local authorities, key partners and communities affected by hate.
- Conduct local, regional and national hate crime related research.
