  • Hopeful Towns: Pilot Communities

Hopeful Towns: Pilot Communities

We’re working in three pilot towns to better understand these issues in practice and to test what can be done locally to foster hope in our towns.

In-depth consultations with a broad range of key actors, including frontline workers, decision-makers and community activists across housing, health, employment and education, will lay out the challenges and opportunities ahead for migration and cohesion in these towns – a “practitioners’ guide” to what needs to change and how we can change create that change. 

Bringing actors together from local authorities, community groups and business, we want to identify priorities for the town, and work to coproduce comprehensive resilience frameworks that support these towns to address barriers to cohesion, and strengthen existing assets.

Identifying points of friction, opportunity and hope in representative communities, we want to lay out the path to more inclusive communities through understanding how people feel about identity, society and economic change. How do towns meet the issues facing their communities? How do they bolster the strengths and assets that give hope for their future?

    Faith and deeds

    Yesterday saw the teargassing and beating of peaceful protesters outside the church of St John's Church which sits on the north side of the White House in Washington D.C. Priests and Clergy were attacked by the police in the process. HOPE not hate Charitable Trust board member Peter Adams, himself a Christian leader, reflects on the role of faith leaders in opposing this violence, and the violence meted out to Black communities by those in authority.

  • The problematic art of humanising Muslims

    The problematic art of humanising Muslims

    Ramadan is over and with it ends iftars – the meal eaten to break the fast at sunset. The month has become a great tool for those working on interfaith as the number of community iftars grows and activities such as solidarity fasting have become more common. But efforts to humanise a community that is often painted with a broad terrorist brush contains its own pitfalls.
