About the fund
The Hate Crime Awareness Fund will be awarding grants of up to £500 to support organisations to deliver activities during Greater Manchester Hate Crime Awareness Week (3rd – 9th February 2025) OR up to £750 for activity throughout the month of February 2025. The aim of the fund is to increase people’s understanding of hate crime, how and why hate crime incidents should be reported through Hate Crime Reporting Centres, and to promote the services available for victims of hate crime.
Hate crime is an offence (physical or verbal) that is targeted at a person based on their:
- race or ethnicity
- disability
- religion or belief
- sexual orientation
- gender identity (transgender)
- subculture (e.g. punks or goths)
Salford’s Community Safety Partnership understands that for the public to have the confidence to report hate crime, they need to know the reports will be taken seriously and dealt with accordingly. The partnership has worked hard to increase reporting of hate crime by working with Hate Crime Reporting Centres and wider community organisations. This fund aims to boost community confidence by providing small grants for organisations to run fun, engaging and informative community activities in and around Hate Crime Awareness Week 2025.
