We are proud to be part of a consortium of 15 national and community-based organisations who together are launching this important UK-wide service today!
The Covid-19 pandemic and other national and global events led to a dramatic increase in
racism and identity-based violence directed towards East and Southeast Asian communities in
the UK
If you or anyone you know has ever experienced racism and/or any form of hate – reach out.
We’re #OnYourSide
We’re very proud to be a part of a consortium launching a new support and reporting service
offering culturally competent and trauma-informed support for East and Southeast Asians
experiencing racism and/or any forms of hate. This is the first service of its kind in the UK.
You can reach out at any time for free through our 24/7 helpline and online chat services for initial
advice and support from trained staff. We’ll connect you to specialist advisors and enhanced
reporting tools. Longer-term support is also available from trained casework advocates.
The operators speak various languages including Japanese, Tagalog, Chinese – Fookien,
Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, and Indonesian, but can support victims in any language with
support from trusted interpreters.
The safety and well-being of those who use the service is the main priority of On Your Side.
Unless there is an exceptional risk to a person’s safety, data will never be shared with anyone
else without full consent.
By telling us what happened to you, you help to build a picture of the experiences of East and
Southeast Asian communities in the UK. The more we learn about what is happening, the better
we can prevent it.
If you know anyone that would benefit from this service please spread the word. Call us free
anytime or chat to us online. We’re #OnYourSide.
