We are thrilled to announce that SARI has been awarded five years of funding from The National Lottery Community Fund for our project, All Different, All Equal.
This significant investment recognises the importance of our work supporting victims of hate crime while preventing hate through education and community engagement across Bath & North East Somerset, North Somerset and Somerset.
Over the next five years, the project will support more than 11,000 people, including individuals and families affected by hate crime, thousands of children and young people, school staff and community members.
The funding will enable us to continue providing specialist casework for victims, deliver educational programmes that build empathy and understanding, strengthen schools’ responses to hate incidents, and empower communities with the confidence and knowledge to challenge prejudice.
The National Lottery Community Fund recognised our commitment to tackling inequality, improving wellbeing and helping children and young people develop the social and emotional skills needed to build more inclusive communities.
This award provides long-term stability for our services and allows us to continue making a lasting difference to the lives of those affected by hate.
