We are opening nominations for the national #No2H8 Crime Awards on the 1st of May 2017. This will be the second year where we will be recognising many of the unsung heroes who work tirelessly and diligently in communities tackling hatred, prejudice and intolerance.
This year, the #No2H8 Crime Awards will host a gala dinner in London for participants and for nominees. This expands our work from last year and we have a number of high profile individuals who will be part of the Judging Panel for the awards and who will also speak at the gala dinner. Last year, the awards attracted the Under-Secretary of State for the Department for Communities and Local Government, Lord Nick Bourne and Home Office Minister, Baron Susan Williams.
If you know of an individual, organisation, Parliamentarian or social activist who has made a real difference in their local area tackling hatred, racism and prejudice, you can lodge a nomination on the #No2H8 Crime Awards site. 1st of May is the date to remember and let’s ensure that we put hate crime on the political and social map as much as possible.
