A new fund has been launched to provide a comprehensive service to monitor anti-Muslim hate and support victims. Applications opened on Monday 7th April.
Last year, police-recorded hate crime statistics found almost two in five of all religious hate crimes in the UK targeted Muslims, an increase of 13% in comparison to the year before.
With cases on the rise, up-to-date and detailed information on incidents and drivers of this form of hatred will play a fundamental part in supporting the government to combat anti-Muslim hate and Islamophobia and ensure Muslim communities feel safe and supported.
The establishment of the fund also contributes to the government’s broader commitment to creating safer streets as part of the Plan for Change, with addressing the rise of anti-Muslim hate playing a crucial part in building safer, stronger and more cohesive communities for all.
The fund is open to applications from a single organisation, or a group of organisations to work together to deliver an accurate record of hate incidents across England.
The competition window will be open for six weeks from the 7 April, closing on 18 May at 23:59.
