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 on Mondays and Tuesdays (between 10 am to 5 pm) 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, bisexuals, gay men, 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 at St Paul's Cathedral
Join our annual service at St Paul's Cathedral and witness the lighting of the National Candle of Hope and Remembrance for those affected by hate crime - the candle remains lit in the 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.

Ordering Resources - LONDON REGION
MOPAC FUNDING FOR LONDON RESOURCES CONFIRMED
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.
This year we are purchasing 3,000 t-shirts, 20,000 leaflets, 40,000 hate crime reporting cards and 40,000 badges to promote National Hate Crime Awareness Week 2023.
We will sort these resources into two lots.
Lot A is 300 London NationalHCAW Campaign packs which will be dispatched to the first 300 organisations across London that order them.
Lot B is 15 Bundles of NationalHCAW resources which will go to the 12 Met Police Borough Command Units BCUs, British Transport Police, City of London Police, and Transport for London to cascade to local councils and communities they work with across London.
We expect these resources to arrive during the last week September / beginning of the first week of October. We aim to distribute the 300 packs by the end of the first week of October, and for the Bundles to be picked up within that first week as well.
Register your interest in receiving resources.
If you are a London-based group or organisation holding hate crime awareness events in London, then please register now for one of our 300 London NationalHCAW Campaign packs.
These will be issued on a first come first served basis.
One pack per group/organisation.
If we get less than 300 orders we may send out additional packs whilst stocks last.
Please click the link and complete the Airtable Form.
ORDERING RESOURCES - OTHER UK REGIONS
England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales Regions
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.
