HOPE not hate and the Daily Mirror
These might be people who through their work – like a youth worker, teacher or doctor – help to break down barriers between communities. It might be people who give up their spare time through voluntary and community work to contribute to making their communities a better place.
It might be someone who uses their position in a place of worship to reach out to people of other faiths and of none. It might be someone working with refugees or a teacher who helps children from different cultures to get along together; or it could be a parent who gives up their spare time to help young people from different backgrounds to play sport.
Every community has them and now we, as HOPE not hate, would like to acknowledge them too.
We are asking our supporters to nominate the people in their community who they believe warrant the term of “community champion”.
HOPE not hate and the Daily Mirror will tell the stories of many of these champions and the most inspiring will be invited to a HOPE not hate award night at a top London restaurant in early autumn.
Let’s say thank you to those who make life better for those around us.
