Statement on Hate Crime in UK – 19th February 2024

We are dismayed and deeply concerned to read the recent report of the Community Security Trust which highlights the disturbing picture of rising Antisemitism in the UK. Alongside the disturbing increase in Islamophobia reported by Tell Mama over recent months, this reflects growing social polarisation which F&BF continues to address by building productive and lasting relations between people of different faiths and beliefs. The intensification of these destructive trends shows just how important our work is.
Please join our movement to tackle faith based hate.
