An unwanted side effect from the pandemic has seen an increase in abuse against people of Asian origin. From people shouting abuse to actually physically attacking people.

We are proud to participate in the initiative on hate crime organised by the Chinese Welfare Trust. The new hate crime project held on the 9th and 16th January was funded by the National Lottery to benefit a number of community groups across England.
