National Hate Crime Awareness Week | Lewisham Stands Together
Lewisham’s diversity is its greatest strength. Everyone here deserves to feel safe and welcome, whatever their race, faith, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity.
Under Labour, Lewisham became the UK’s first Borough of Sanctuary and set up local centres where anyone can report hate crime anonymously.
With antisemitic and anti-Muslim hate rising across London, this year the Mayor of London put a further £875,000 into grassroots groups tackling hate through education and prevention.
We’ll keep standing with residents and community groups, and we’ll work with anyone across the council chamber to keep every community safe.
