Joining

The London Hate Crime SRG has a tiered membership structure, enabling a wide range of organisations and individuals to contribute to London’s response to hate crime.

Stakeholder Reference Group Members (Organisations)

This membership tier is open to organisations and groups of all sizes that support individuals and communities affected by hate crime in London. This includes organisations providing direct support to victims, advocacy, advice, community wellbeing services, and those working on prevention, awareness-raising, reporting, evidence gathering, policy, or community safety more broadly.

We welcome community and faith groups, civil society organisations, specialist victim support services, equalities organisations, grassroots groups, and relevant statutory bodies — particularly those working alongside communities who experience hate crime.

Stakeholder Reference Group Associate Members (Individuals)

This tier is open to individuals who are not formally representing an organisation but bring valuable expertise and insight. This may include people with lived experience of hate crime, academics and researchers, practitioners, professionals, and others committed to improving hate crime prevention and support in London.

What members can expect — and what we ask in return

What members can expect:

The London Hate Crime SRG is designed to be accessible and flexible. We recognise that organisations and individuals have different levels of capacity and competing priorities, and engagement can vary over time.

As a member, you can expect:

Four all-member meetings each year (one per quarter), providing opportunities to hear directly from MOPAC and the Metropolitan Police Service, ask questions, raise concerns, and respond to emerging issues.
Opportunities to shape joint policy outputs, including responses to consultations or inquiries, letters to policymakers, reports, briefings, and collective statements. Participation is entirely optional.
Access to capacity-building and shared learning sessions, shaped by the needs of members and focused on strengthening practice and policy engagement.
Opportunities to promote your work through the SRG newsletter and communications.
Space to propose collaborative ideas, including joint policy outputs or initiatives you would like to explore with the wider membership.

What is expected from you:

There are no formal participation requirements, and members are not expected to attend every meeting or contribute to every initiative.

We do ask members to:

Engage constructively and respectfully
Share insight grounded in experience, evidence, or community voice
Maintain confidentiality where required
Support the independence and integrity of the SRG

The SRG is built on collaboration, trust, and shared commitment to strengthening London’s response to hate crime.
