THIP are in the process of launching a new campaign to look at all aspects of Hate Crime such as race, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity and disability.
This will focus on supporting victims rather than targeting the perpetrators. They are asking members of the public to help them understand what the focus of the campaign should be. Fill in the survey online.

Tameside Forum of Mosques
Tameside Forum of Mosques is a new independent group which brings together representatives from all Muslim Mosques in Tameside. The Forum meets on a regular basis to discuss key issues affecting local Muslim communities in Tameside through dialogue and strategies to resolve any issues of concern.
Whilst the group is fairly new, there is a strong energy behind it and the group are planning on getting involved in lots of future events (including the 2011 Eid Festival and Heritage Open Days). The Forum provides an opportunity for community leaders to come together and for agencies and partners to link in with the Muslim community in a really positive way.
