Voluntary, community and faith organisations across Halton and St Helens are being encouraged to access free support, resources and peer networking opportunities from HOPE not hate, a national organisation that works to counter division and strengthen community resilience.
HOPE not hate offers a range of practical safety and security resources designed to support organisations and individuals who may be concerned about threats or intimidation from far-right activity. These resources include guidance on staying safe, assessing risks and responding to incidents, and are available free of charge through the organisation's online resource hub.
Organisations can also sign up to receive HOPE not hate's monthly newsletter, which provides information and analysis on emerging trends in far-right organising, alongside updates on activity that may affect communities and community organisations. Subscribers are also invited to monthly peer support meetings, bringing together community groups, campaigners and practitioners to share experiences, discuss challenges and explore collaborative responses.
In addition to online resources and networking opportunities, HOPE not hate provides bespoke support to organisations and individuals facing threats or operating in areas experiencing heightened tensions.
