From 12-19 October, we're proudly supporting National Hate Crime Awareness Week.
Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and welcome in their community. Hate crime and hate incidents can have a serious impact on people and their families, and they have no place in our neighbourhoods.
Southway is an approved third-party Hate Crime Reporting Centre. This means you can report hate-related behaviour to us instead of contacting the police directly. Our trained colleagues are here to listen, support you and help you report what has happened if you choose to.
We work closely with Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester Police, Stop Hate UK and other organisations to support victims and tackle hate crime in our communities.
Whether you've experienced hate behaviour yourself or witnessed it happening to someone else, support is available. You can:
- Report it through Southway as an approved Hate Crime Reporting Centre
- Contact Stop Hate UK's confidential 24-hour helpline
- Report non-emergency incidents to the police online at report-it.org.uk
Remember, if someone is in immediate danger or a crime is happening, always call 999.
