Resources have been developed to help communities and organisations to stay safe and build solidarity against far-right activities during this difficult time.

We will be updating this page as we get new information.

Staying Safe Amidst Far Right Violence

This guide is designed to help organisations keep their staff, volunteers and people they work with safe and has some advice for people who may be subject to far-right violence. It is a first draft pulled together to provide some basic guidance and will be updated. The guide was developed by Hope Not Hate, Asylum Matters, Praxis, Right to Remain, NACCOM, Imix and Safer Foundations. 

The guide focuses on four groups/scenarios:

1. Information for organisations supporting people seeking asylum in Home Office hotels

2. Information for charities and community groups who provide centre and service based work

3. Information for charities and community groups who carry out community based work, including housing managed in the community 

4. Information for people fearful of or at risk of being directly targeted by far-right violence

Building solidarity - responding to hostility

What can your organisation can do to respond to far right attacks in your area? HOPE not Hate research shows that while sometimes counter-protests are a good tactic, sometimes, positive acts of solidarity in communities can be far more impactful. 

This is a 10 point plan of what local organisations and communities can do to respond to hostility, put together by Together With Refugees, HOPE not hate, IMIX and City of Sanctuary UK.
