Bradford Hate Crime Alliance exists to support the victims of hate crime and to co-ordinate the network of reporting centres that work with us. Reporting hate crime is essential, but education is the key and our new podcast aims to raise awareness of hate crime through the sharing of lived experience as well as providing a forum to have the difficult conversations that need to be had about the issues that lie at the heart of hate crime in 21st Century Britain.
