We are shocked and saddened by last night's disorder in Belfast. If you are affected by hate crime over the coming days, or at any other time of the year, you can reach out to the Hate Crime Advocacy Service for help. You do not have to have reported the crime to the police to avail of our services and they are trauma-informed, confidential, safe, and free. For more information go to hcasni.com.
