Anyone can be affected by hate crime, and it can be a very frightening and traumatic experience. It can feel particularly personal as someone has targeted you because of who they think you are.

Hate crime is motivated by prejudice against parts of a person’s identity such as race, religion, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Hate crime could include property damage, threats, theft, verbal abuse, assault, harassment and online abuse.

We’re here to help you in this difficult time. We support hundreds of people every day to cope with the impact and effects of crime.
