I am sharing the news of a fully funded capacity building opportunity for organisations who would like to develop new, or strengthen existing, hate crime victim support work.

We are looking for organisations who work with community members affected by hate crime to join a new Mayor of London commissioned project providing expert training and support for participating organisations along with £4,000-£7,000 in financial support

Following a consultation to understand where this support could be most impactful, we are particularly interested in working with organisations supporting Migrants and Refugees, Disabled people, Black African and Afro-Caribbean people, Gypsy, Roma and Travelers (GRT), East and Southeast Asian people, Latin American and Latinx people and LGBTQ+ people.

Over the course of a year our expert team will support each organisation over 9 months through individually tailored support programmes to:           

  1. Increase their awareness and understanding of hate crime among community members who they work with
  2. Feel confident to provide an initial, basic level of victim support to members of their community who report being targeted by hate crime
  3. Build new relationships with stakeholders in police, local and regional authorities, civil society and elsewhere focussed on hate crime victim support and/or prevention
  4. Build sustainability of hate crime victim support and / or hate crime prevention work through developing grant proposals and other fundraising strategies

This support will be tailored to the needs of each organisation but will consist in part of several trainings (such as on hate crime legislation and reporting, victim support, advocacy, and outreach) to support the achievement of the above goals.

Interested parties can find information about the project and the recruitment process at this link.

The application form is online and the deadline for applications is 5pm on Wednesday 25th October 2023, after which suitable applicants will be contacted by our team to arrange interviews.

For many young people, safeguarding needs to continue well beyond their eighteenth birthday – yet gaps between children’s and adult’s safeguarding services often mean that they do not receive the care and support they require as they enter adulthood.

Expert trainer, Dez Holmes, will walk you through evidence-based approaches and the six principles of Transitional Safeguarding.

Join interactive exercises and scenario-based discussions. Raise your challenges and get feedback from the trainer and peers. You will develop an action plan to consolidate your ideas and deliver change in your organisation.
