At Touchstone we are saddened by the rise in hostile and divisive language and actions directed towards minority groups, migrants, asylum seekers/refugees and diverse communities. Words that once would have been seen as discriminatory or hateful are increasingly being normalised, creating fear and anxiety, and contributing to the rise in hate crime incidents.

We take pride in being a diverse organisation, employing colleagues from many different backgrounds and serving the vibrant communities of West Yorkshire. We will always stand against hate and in solidarity with those who experience racism, discrimination or exclusion of any kind.

If you experience or witness a hate crime, please reach out to the Police or Stop Hate UK via phone: 0113 293 5100, or online at: https://www.stophateuk.org/.

Support is here, and no one has to face this alone. We stand with and for all our diverse communities.
