HOPE not hate

HOPE not hate seeks to challenge and defeat the politics of hate and extremism within local communities, building resilience against the politics of hate and fear, at a national and grassroots level. In order to maximise our contribution to the debate and comply with all UK legislation, HOPE not hate operates via two separate and distinct legal entities, through which we deliver a range of activities and services.

2014 marked HOPE not hate’s 10th birthday as a national campaign and to celebrate we published HOPE: The Story of the HOPE not hate campaign.

HOPE not hate Educational Ltd (HhH Ed) is our charitable wing and the main vehicle for the development and execution of our community action and engagement plans, training and educational services.
