Peace Walk
Community peace walk and solidarity gathering with testimonies, workshops and refreshments in Tower Hamlets.
As part of National Hate Crime Awareness Week from 10-17 October 2026, the Tower Hamlets LGBTQ+ Community Forum are leading a Peace Walk in the borough to bring together communities and organisations representing those who experience hate crime and our allies.
The theme for this year's National Hate Crime Awareness Week is in solidarity with those who experience Race Hate Crime directed at Asylum Seeker and Refugee communities.
