What is Hate Crime?
If someone is being bullied, harassed or abused because of their race; religion; disability; sexuality; gender identity; or identification with an alternative subculture this may be a hate crime. Anyone can be a victim of hate crime; it is an issue which can affect us all and can have much wider consequences for communities.

Aims of Hate Crime Week
Salford’s Community Safety Partnership knows it is important that the public have the confidence to come forward and report hate crime in the knowledge that this will be taken seriously and dealt with. Hate crime is an offence against an individual motivated by race, religion or faith, sexual orientation, disability, gender or gender identity or identification with an alternative subculture and has a profound negative effect on people’s confidence and feelings of safety. In Salford we also want to raise awareness of Disability and LGBT hate crime as these are the most under reported hate crimes. As a partnership we have worked hard to increase reporting of hate crimes and to improve our responses to victims and we will work closely with third party reporting centres and wider community organisations to support people to report and deal with the impacts of hate crimes.
We want to build on this by holding events and activities starting in Greater Manchester Hate Crime Awareness Week. Activity should:
- Raise awareness of hate crime.
- Encourage reporting.
- Celebrate the diversity of Salford.
- Promote services that support victim of hate crime.
Grants are available to support two kinds of activity:
1. An awareness raising activity or a public event during the Greater Manchester Hate Crime Week of 5th to 12th February 2018
Grants of up to £500 are available to promote awareness of Hate Crime within local communities in Salford to prevent Hate Crime, encourage the reporting of Hate Crime or offer/improve support to victims of Hate Crime. Priority will be given to:
• Partnership applications, where two or more groups will work together to deliver the event or activities.
2. A 3 month project that will increase local people’s awareness of Hate Crime and reduce its impact on victims and the wider community.
These should start in February 2018 and continue until May 2018. Grants of up to £1,000 are available to deliver a 3 month project that will increase local people’s awareness of Hate Crime and reduce its impact on victim’s and the wider community.
Priority will be given to:
- Partnership applications, where two or more groups will work together to promote awareness.
- Projects which can show a tangible product at the end - e.g. producing hate crime awareness resources like posters, film clips, music, artwork, presentation materials and research documents and findings.
- Projects which will involve engaging Salford people to find out what they know about hate crime and sharing information about it with them.
Funding can be used to cover the costs of room hire, decorations, food, materials, equipment, session workers or any reasonable costs for an activity, event or project as long as it relates to hate crime.
