Oldham is sending a strong message that hate crime will not be tolerated in the town.
Events are being held all this week, part of Greater Manchester Hate Crime Awareness Week 2019.
Now a local housing association has announced that its office in Oldham has become a third-party Hate Crime reporting centre.
Regenda Homes has worked closely with partner agencies in the region to promote the reporting of Hate Crime in the Oldham area.
