Statements of Support 2023

Appeal for ‘Statements of Support‘ for National Hate Crime Awareness Week #NationalHCAW 2023 now open!

National Hate Crime Awareness Week is a national week of action established in 2012 by Mark Healey to encourage the authorities (Government, Police and Councils), key partners (business and voluntary sector), and communities affected by hate crime to work together to tackle local hate crime across the UK.

This year we will be working in partnership with CST to raise awareness of Faith Hate Crime and the work that is being done to tackle Antisemitism targeted at Jewish communities.

During the week

• We will encourage hate crime reporting – signposting hate crime reporting routes on our Report Hate page on our national website, via our social media, our NationalHCAW Google Map 2023 and ReportHate Linktree.

• We will remember those we have lost, those who need our ongoing support, and seek to educate future generations to prevent further hate crimes.

• We will signpost and support the work being done by so many people and organisations, mapping hate crime events and projects across the UK.

• We will bring people to stand together to say no to hate in our communities so we can live in peace and harmony together.

Each year we aim to raise the profile of hate crime on the social and political agenda by inviting key representatives from the Government, Members of Parliament and the House of Lords, the leaders of the political parties, local councillors, Police and Crime Commissioners, police leaders, CEO’s from the business and voluntary sectors, faith leaders and leaders from communities affected by hate crime – to contribute ‘statements of support’ for National Hate Crime Awareness Week.

You can submit a ‘Statement of Support’ here

• We will publish the Statements of Support below.

• We will add them to our NationalHCAW Google Map 2023.

• We will share them via our social media.
