Our 2024 Annual Gathering took place on 18 December, where we reflected on the past year, celebrated our achievements, and discussed the impact we aim to make moving forward.

The Virtual AGM was open to all stakeholders, supporters, and community members who believe in our mission. During the event, we heard from a range of speakers and clients who shared their experiences with hate crime and the support we provide. The online event was attended by over 100 people, including participants from outside Avon and Somerset, as well as several international guests.

In addition to the AGM, we also held a special Annual General Meeting specifically for members to fulfil their legal requirements.
