We believe most people want to live in peace and harmony with each other. Most people believe hate crime targeted at people because of their disability, faith or beliefs, transgender identity, race or sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic is repugnant.
We use the three hash tags #WeStandTogether, #NoPlaceForHate and #SafePlaceForAll because it reflects the journey we want to take people on - to bring people together, to say no to hate crime and to make our communities safer for everyone.
The main objective of National Hate Crime Awareness Week #NationalHCAW is to encourage the authorities (Government, Police and Councils), key partners (anti-hate crime charities, business and voluntary sectors, and communities affected by hate crime to work together to tackle local hate crime issues.
Whilst we focus on one of the recognised hate crime strands each year, we encourage communities to work together to tackle local issues because hate crime manifests itself differently around the UK. We want all forms of hate crime to be tackled during the national week and beyond.
Use the week as a starting point to launch a year of action to spread our annual message of H.O.P.E.
Each year, we organise a service of Hope and Remembrance for all those affected by hate crime, highlighting one of the strands of hate crime by lighting the National Candle of Hope and Remembrance for those affected by hate crime in memory of a victim of hate crime.
This year we are highlighting Anti-LGBT+ Hate Crime, you can view our NationalHCAW archive to see those we have worked with and recognised over the years since 2012.
1. Sign up to our national hate crime mailing list.
We produce a regular newsletter sharing information about our work, including update from across the UK Hate Crime Sector.
If you are tackling hate crime - tell us about it so we can promote your work too.
2. Like and follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!
We are creating social media content which we will share through our social media profiles, please like and share it with your social media profiles and help us maximise social media engagement across the UK.
We have created some Facebook Photo Albums which we would love you to share .
We have also created some Twitter lists that you may find useful. Let us know if you want t o be added to any of these Twitter lists.
3. Promote our message of H.O.P.E. Campaign and our national theme.
Here is an opportunity for you to be creative, to adapt our social media content and create your own social media content to reflect the needs of your local communities.
Please send us copies of what you create.
4. Use our hash tags
Tag us in your posts @nationalHCAW or #NationalHCAW.
Make sure you use the word National to help us emphasise that this is a national event and distinguish ourselves from other Hate Crime Awareness Weeks HCAW that take place during the year.
We want to take people on a journey – hence the three hashtags we use #WeStandTogether (Green a traditional start colour) aiming to bring people together, #NoPlaceForHate (Red a traditional stop colour) opposing hate crime in our communities, #SafePlaceForAll (Blue representing blue skies ahead where we can live in peace and harmony together.
We have stopped using the NHCAW hash tag and ask you to stop using it to as there is another organisation that uses NHCAW - who has nothing to do with the hate crime sector.
5. Register your hate crime awareness events with us so we can place them on the NationalHCAW google map we have set up to show events around the UK.
Contact us if you would like to embed the Google Map on your websites!
We want to promote as many hate crime awareness events throughout the year as possible, not just during National Hate Crime Awareness Week.
6. Use our updated NationalHCAW Logo
You are welcome to use the #NationalHCAW logo - All we ask is you send us a copy of any materials/resources you produce so we can add them to our #NationalHCAW archive.
7. Network with local authorities, key partners and communities affected by hate crime.
Join our UK Hate Crime Group on Linkedin.
8. Don't retaliate to hate on the internet with more hate
Sadly it has become a occupational hazard for those of us who are tackling all forms of hate and prejudice in our communities, that we may get targeted as well.
9. Deal with localised incidents appropriately.
We believe it is important that local incidents are dealt with by the local authorities (police and councils), key partners and the local communities affected so please be mindful about tagging us as a national charity in localised incidents - it is often not appropriate and can escalate local tensions, making things much harder for local communities to resolve.
Consider those affected by hate crime - where possible avoid sharing photos of victims of hate crime without their consent, and do not share photos of children (the exception is when sharing police appeals for more information to solve hate crime).
It can also spread fear and concern for personal/community safety unnecessarily.
You are always welcome to privately flag up incidents to our attention and where possible we will direct you to local advice and support services, although bear in mind we are a small team of volunteers, this is not our primary purpose, and it may take some time for us to respond.
If anyone is at risk of harm then call the police on 999 or 101 if it is not an emergency. Alternatively many advice and support organisations are listed on our hate crime reporting page.
10. Remember to focus on the positive, inclusive spirit and intention of the national week.
National Hate Crime Awareness Week is about bringing everyone together to tackle all forms prejudice and hate.
There is no acceptable form of hate and prejudice, and no excuse for using the week to launch any attacks on anyone at all. There is no place for mocking memes. There is no place for hate here.
Always treat everyone with dignity and respect - even those with whom we disagree most strongly.
17-24-30 National Hate Crime Awareness Week (1184819) is and always will be an inclusive organisation, working with disabled people, people of all faiths (including the Muslim and Jewish communities) and beliefs, transgender and non-binary people, people of all races, cultures and sub-cultures (including the Roma Gypsy Traveller communities), lesbians, bisexuals and gay men.
As the three Musketeers state -
"All for one and one for all. United we stand divided we fall. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us."
Lets all work together to bring an end of hate and prejudice in the UK

The law recognises five types of hate crime on the basis of:
Any crime can be prosecuted as a hate crime if the offender has either: (a) demonstrated hostility based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity, Or (b) been motivated by hostility based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity
Someone can be a victim of more than one type of hate crime.
These crimes are covered by legislation (Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and section 66 of the Sentencing Act 2020) which allows prosecutors to apply for an uplift in sentence for those convicted of a hate crime.
The police and the CPS have agreed the following definition for identifying and flagging hate crimes: "Any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice, based on a person's disability or perceived disability; race or perceived race; or religion or perceived religion; or sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation or transgender identity or perceived transgender identity."
There is no legal definition of hostility so the CPS use the everyday understanding of the word which include use the everyday understanding of the word which includes ill-will, spite, contempt, prejudice, unfriendliness, antagonism, resentment and dislike.
Hate crime targets people for who they are.
It's a very personal crime which can send a clear message: "You're not welcome".
Hate crime also reinforces long-established patterns of discrimination and prejudice against certain communities and groups of people.
The police investigate and obtain evidence to show a crime has been committed.
In hate crime cases this includes gathering evidence that the victim has been targeted because of their race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity - or what the offender believes to be their race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity.
The CPS is responsible for deciding which cases go to court. This includes taking a decision on whether there is enough evidence to prosecute a crime as a hate crime.
If an offender pleads not guilty, the CPS is responsible for preparing and presenting the case against them at court
In hate crime cases, the CPS is also responsible for asking the courts to increase the sentence the offender receives - to reflect that the crime was a hate crime.
