NationalHCAW Newsletter 2022 - Issue 02

By Mark Healey

Welcome to issue 2nd of our hate crime sector newsletter.

Looking back;

Since our last newsletter we have been very busy updating our national website, working on the delivery of the April Acts of Remembrance, our Rainbow Boroughs Project, plans for our first national meeting of 2022.

We've also recruited another new trustee - and responded to the Russian invaision of Ukraine by creating a list of groups, organisations and campaigns providing support to the Ukraine LGBT+ Community.

Looking forward;

Our main focus this month is the Spring Meeting on Monday 14th, and the delivery of the April Acts of Remembrance next month.

Call to action; If you have a LinkedIn profile we encourage you to join the UK Hate Crime Network group on LInkedin. We now have 376 members.

Rainbow Boroughs Project

Enhancing Networking, Communication and Collaboration with, and across the London LGBT+ community.

A newly refreshed Rainbow Boroughs Project WordPress site has replaced our old London LGBT Blog.

The original blog was launched by Mark Healey in February 2016, with the ambition of creating a space to share information with, and across the London LGBT+ community.

Initally focusing on the boroughs of Lambeth, Tower Hamlets and Westminster where we (the anti-hate charity 17-24-30 NationalHCAW) deliver the April Acts of Remembrance to mark the anniversaries of the April 1999 London Nail Bomb attacks on Brixton, Brick Lane and Soho each year.

If you want to report hate crime – check out the Report Hate Crime Page on our national website where we list hate crime advice and support organisations.

The Rainbow Boroughs Project aims to provide public and private spaces for key members of the LGBT+ community to network, communicate and collaborate together.

If you would like to be involved, start by signing up to our newsletter.
