Here is the plan as we prepare for our next National Hate Crime Awareness Week.
Volunteers
We are recruiting London-based volunteers to assist us with the planning and delivery of the national week.
We need people to help us with our charity's administration, accounts and fundraising, chase Statements of Support, process resource requests, register events create and share social media content, update our databases and add markers to our NationalHCAW Google Map.
We are looking for Regional volunteers to assist networking around the 12 UK regions including 9 England regions, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales

Funding
Think about funding for your activities - do you need to apply for local, regional, or national grants? We have MOPAC funding to provide resources in London.
It is never too early to explore funding opportunities.
Partnerships
Now is the time to start thinking about what you would like to do during National Hate Crime Awareness Week and who you are going to work with.
View the national week as the start of a year-long campaign to bring people together, to say no to all forms of hate crime across the UK and make our communities safer places for everyone.

The Mayor's Office Policing and Crime (MOPAC) has provided 17-24-30 National Hate Crime Awareness Week with funding to provide NationalHCAW resources for London since 2012.
This has enabled us to order and distribute thousands of t-shirts, wrist-bands, mugs, and badges across London.
Watch this space for updates.
We received £25k funding from the Department of Housing, Communities and Local Government DHCLG in 2017.
This enabled us to produce 250 resource packs that were distributed across England and Wales in 2017.
Unfortunately this funding has not been repeated since then.
We are happy to put you in touch with our suppliers B-Loony (ask for Claire) so that you can order t-shirts and badges directly from them using our designs.
We would also encourage you to contact your local Police and Crime Commissioners to encourage them to provide local funding to tackle hate crime in your region.

17-24-30 is the first part of our charity's name; 17-24-30 NationalHCAW. It is a combination of the dates of the three nail bomb attacks on Brixton (17th), Brick Lane (24th) and Soho (30th April 1999)
NationalHCAW is the second part of our charity's name; 17-24-30 NationalHCAW. It stands for National Hate Crime Awareness Week.
17-24-30 NationalHCAW exists to organise the April Acts of Remembrance, National Hate Crime Awareness Week in October and our annual H.O.P.E. hate crime awareness campaign, and other projects to tackle hate crime.
The April Acts of Remembrance are three acts of remembrance to mark the anniversaries of the three nail Bomb attacks on Brixton, Brick Lane and Soho which take place on the 17th, 24th and 30th April each year.
National Hate Crime Awareness Week is a week of action that takes place in the UK to encourage the authorities (government, police and councils), key partners (business and voluntary sectors) and communities affected by hate crime to work together to tackle local hate crime across the UK.
The national week takes place between the second and third Saturday in October each year
The aim of the week is to encourage local authorities, key partners and communities affected by hate crime to work together to tackle all forms of hate crime.
Each year, we highlight one of the hate crime strands during the service of Hope and Remembrance for those affected by Hate Crime.
SEE OUR PLANNING YOUR NATIONAL WEEK PAGE FORR THIS YEARS HIGHLIGHTED HATE CRIME STRAND
Yes - the national week covers all forms of hate crime. We believe hate crime is unacceptable in all its forms and that we can prevent it by working together.
We focus on the five monitored hate crime strands; Disability, Faith, Transgender Identity, Race and Sexuality.
We also recognise emerging hate crime strands - alternative subcultures (highlighted by the Sophie Lancaster case) and Misogyny..
The annual campaign promotes a message of H.O.P.E.
(a) To raise Hate crime awareness,
(b) To improve Operational responses,
(c) To Prevent hate crime and,
(d) To increase community Engagement
There are so many ways that people can get involved and support the national week.

Yes - the designated colour during 2024 is PURPLE.
Since 2007 five strands of hate crime have been monitored by the Police.
Hate Crime directed towards members of alternative subcultures is also recognised by some police services.
Hate crimes are any crimes that are targeted at a person because of hostility or prejudice towards that person’s:
This can be committed against a person or property. A victim does not have to be a member of the group at which the hostility is targeted. In fact, anyone could be a victim of a hate crime.
Hate Incidents can feel like crimes to those who suffer them and often escalate to crimes or tension in a community.
For this reason the police are concerned about incidents and you can use this site to report non-crime hate incidents.
The police can only prosecute when the law is broken but can work with partners to try and prevent any escalation in seriousness.
Our expertise is delivering the April Acts of Remembrance, National Hate Crime Awareness Week and our annual H.O.P.E. Campaign.
The focus of our work is bring local authorities, key partners and communities affected by hate crime together to tackle hate crime.
We don't have the capacity to take on individual case work so we refer victims of hate crime to existing advice and support services where possible. We have created a Hate Crime Linktree listing hate crime advice and support services www.linktr.ee/hatecrime or you can visit our Report Hate Crime webpage.
In an emergency you should call the police by dialling 999, dial 101 if it is not an emergency.
If you don't want to speak to the police then you could contact your local council (some but not all have officers who can deal with hate crime).
Or you could contact a third party advice and support organisation.
Hate crimes and incidents hurt; they can be confusing and frightening.
By reporting them when they happen to you, you may be able to prevent these incidents from happening to others.
You will also help the police understand the extent of hate crime in your local area so they can better respond to it.
Reporting makes a difference - to you, your friends, and your life.
