Support for faith communities

We know events in Israel and Gaza have had a direct impact on communities here in Haringey. This is especially true for our Jewish and Muslim communities.

Our work with our communities includes making sure Haringey continues to be a welcoming and inclusive place for everyone.

Organisations giving specialist support to Jewish and Muslim communities at this time include:

Reporting hate crime

There is no place for hate of any kind in Haringey.

If you witness a hate crime, report it to the police by calling 101 (999 in an emergency).

British Red Cross appeal

All of us have been horrified by the immense loss of life and suffering we have witnessed.

There is an urgent need for aid to make sure innocent victims of this conflict get the support they need (food, water and medical supplies).

If you're able to, please consider making a donation to the British Red Cross appeal. It will help provide vital aid to those who need it.
