Communities

Our work in communities provides the antidote of HOPE to the poison of hate. We put our knowledge of the drivers of hate into action via community engagement and activism.

Through our Tensions Monitoring Unit, we monitor far-right activity right across the UK, share analysis and insights and support communities to respond.

We also work to build long-term resilience in communities vulnerable to the far right, providing sustainable support and guidance to make HOPE a reality. Below, you can find out more about our Tensions Monitoring Unit, learn about our long-term resilience-building work in communities and explore our resources.

If you would like to know more about our work in communities or see if we can support you, get in touch by emailing [email protected].

Analysing the protests, three key themes emerge: far right organising has become locally embedded, the use of HMOs for housing people seeking asylum has become a key focal point, and extreme far-right ideologies are increasingly normalised, bleeding into everyday life within communities.
