Stand against Hate

Join us for a free workshop designed to empower East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) communities to recognise, report, and respond to discrimination, racism, and hate. This session is part of Welcome to the UK’s Friendship Group and delivered by On Your Side, an independent UK-wide support and reporting service for ESEA people affected by racism and hate.
