Protection Approaches is inviting London-based community organisations to co-design and deliver new anti-hate initiatives with funding, training, and ongoing support.

They are looking for 10 partner community organisations to award small grants of £5,000 through their Design. Build. Act: Community Responses to Hate programme. The programme aims to:

• co-design and implement a hate crime prevention or victim support project

• increase knowledge and understanding of hate crime and develop skills needed for victim support and advocacy

• build foundations for sustained community mobilisation.

In addition to funding, the successful organisations will have access to a project design lab, training, training modules, flexible 1-2-1 support, and a peer support network.

To apply, organisations are required to:

• work with marginalised communities who have acute/emerging hate crime needs

• have capacity to participate fully in a ten-month programme.

Previous experience or expertise working on hate crime is not a prerequisite.

The closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 12 September 2025.
