Planning your National Hate Crime Awareness Week
Welcome
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
Want to join our team? Check out our Volunteers and Staff page here.
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.
Check out our Report Hate Crime page for links to key partners including.
- Local Police Services
- Local Councils
- Third Party Organisations
Think how you can get your local community involved, including.
- Local Councillors,
- Members of Parliament
- Police and Crime Commissioners
Think how you can include communities affected by hate crime.
- Disabled people,
- people of Faith or no faith,
- people from different Races including the Roma Gypsy Traveller communities,
- Lesbians, Gay men, Bisexuals, and Transgender people.
Ensure you involve people of all age groups, genders and alternative sub-cultures.
Statements of Support
We are seeking Statements of Support for National Hate Crime Awareness Week which we will share on our blog, our NationalHCAW Google Map, and social media.
Can you provide us with a photo and statement of support? or help us connect with other leaders in your area and get them to add their support.
National Hate Crime Google Map
Each year we set up a Google Map with 7 levels - adding markers for any hate crime events taking place between the 1st January to the 31st December.
- Statements of Support (Purple Markers)
- Hate Crime Activities (Green Markers)
- Hate Crime Articles (Black Markers)
- England
- Northern Ireland
- Scotland
- Wales
The map includes markers for council websites (green ticks for those that display hate crime information, red crosses for those that do not).
Activities Ideas
Check out our ideas below and share your ideas with us too. We really want to promote a wide variety of events and activities across the UK.
Service of Hope and Remembrance
Join our annual service and witness the lighting of the National Candle of Hope and Remembrance for those affected by hate crime - the candle remains lit in St Paul's Cathedral for the duration of the week.
Register your events
Let us know what events you are organising so we can add markers and promote via our social media.
