CATCH (CommuTJity Alliance to Combat Hate) is a collaborative initiative comprising severnl specialisl Charities providing advocacy and support services to victims of hate Qrimes, with 8 particular focus on Tac¢-based incidents. CATCH Consortium Member5 The project benefits from the strengths aT)d specialisms of the following partner organisations: - Ga]op - Advocacy for LGB T+ hate Crime victims - East European Resource Centre (EERC) - Support for Eastern European communities - Community Security Trust (CST) - Addressing antisemitic hate crime - Tell MAMA- Ta¢kling anti-muslim (Islamophobic) hate Crime - Choic¢ in Hackn¢y- Advocacy on anti-disability hate crime - Stay Safe East - Anti-disability hate crim¢ support - Real - Advowy for people with disabilities Projeet Signifieince and Sust4in#billty Over the past years, the CATCH proje¢t has evolved to deliver improved outcomes for victims navigating the criminal justice system. It remains a unique initiativ¢ within the UK, unmatched in its scope and collaborative mod¢l. While the framework and perforn]an¢¢ metric5 linked io external funding do not always aligm precisely wftth TMG'S broader mission, th¢ project currently accounts for approximately 75Q/o of our annual income. As such, we have maintained strong engagement with the project to ensure its continuation. Service Delivery 4nd Impsict In the reporting year, TMG provided support to 819 individuals. At any given tim¢, our casework team manages approximately 145 active c¢5. The nature of these Cases varies significantly, ranging from peTSi5tcnt harassment (e.g. verbal abuse, noise complaints) to threats of violence and physical assaults, including death threats. Our client b&8e is drawn from communities racialised as minorities, often referred to as global majority bkgrOUnd$. Within this group* signifi¢ant intersectional factors are present: - Over 600/0 of clients are women - 4O/b identify as LGB T+ 160/• are living with disabilities, including mental health challenges The majority of ¢lients require emotional support, legal guidan¢e, and practical inforntstion. TMG directly delivers th¢s¢ services in-house, with fewer than lQ/o of Clients r¢f¢rred externally. Page 2
DO¢SIgn Envelope ID, O7A8ASB3FF494F-A9DEgAE3AFA2A3 The Monitoring Group LAmited Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025 On average, we receive l O new referrals per week via the CATCH neiwork, maintaining a ¢onsistently high workload. Despite these demands, our oulcomes frir clients remain strong, even as w¢ often contend with systemic failures from statutory agencies such as the poli¢¢, local authorities, and housing PToviders. These institutions frequently lack efflIve strategies to prioritise victim support or long-terni resolution planning. Review and Tender Outcome In 2023, the CATCH service underwent a fornial review by the Greater London Authority. The review included both data analysis and client inlerviews. Findings were overwhelmingly positive, validating the impact and necessity of the service. In April 2023, the CATCH project was re-tendered, and TMG once again joined its consortiwn partners in submitting a bid, We are pleased to report that the bid was successful, securing £401,830 in fidIrtg to support the continuation of the project through to October 2028. Fulure Plans 4nd Development Looking beyond 2025, TMG aims to div¢r5ify its funding streams by approaching new ¢xternal fvndeTS. We also intend to conduct a Comprehensive review of racist viol¢n¢¢ tn London, drawing on data and insights from our CATCH Casework. This will include an assessment of systemic failings across police services, local authorities, and mental health providers. Recognising the isolation many of our clients experience. we will be launching weekly support groups and advice surgery from November 2023. These sessions will provide a space for clients to share experiences, build networks of mutual support, and co4evelop strategies for resilien¢e. 3: CORE WORK In addition to advising and supporting victims of racist crimes and discriminatiott, the Group has suc¢essfi]Ily developed national anti-racist responses lo Stst¢ racism and violence by establishing public 9Mpaign$ and innovative ¢ommunity led initiatives to both expose state cornplicity or hold state agencies to account. Over the last 12 months, our advocacy staff dealt wth 180 cases and advised over 800 callers nationally. 150/0 of the ¢ases involves serious crimes involving arson, serious injury or death. We also established or sustained 8 public ¢ampaigns for families suffering state racism having lost a loved member of the family through su5pi¢ious or unexplained death. The work included developing ¢omprehensive media strategy, organising public events, r¢pr¢s¢ntation for reinvestigations at the most senior levels ranging from Mayoral. Chief Constable to Commissionefs offices and undertaking public law legal strategies wtth lawyers. 4: Independent Commission of Inquiry into the Violenee fin Leieester, August-september 21122 Over this period, the Inquiry fooused on literatyre review, gaining access to people and agencies who wuld provide factual eviden¢¢ and analysis of the events in 2022 COMMMtSSlONS Tenns of Reference Purpose (Mission): During Augu5t-September 2022, serious violence between South Asian5 from Hindu and Muslim backgrounds shocked th¢ city of LeicesÈer, East Midlands, a ¢ity often viewed as a model for community harn)ony and conviviality- Tbe violence threatened to spread to other major cities in Britain. and it also had international reper¢ussions.

The event was held at the Y-Th¢atre in Leicester, and members of ihe publi¢ could attend to hear the testimony being presented to the inquiry. The session was well managed, well explained and was led by an expert panel who treafed the witnesses with respect and allowed them to express their views. The hearing was an opportunity to learn more about the causes and consequences of the violence that shook the City two years ago, and to hear the voices of those who were directly affected by it. "I was impressed by the professionalisrn and sensitivity of the commission, and by the courage and honesty of the witnesses.

Th¢ commkssion h&$ placed a strong emphasis on community participation. encouragin¥ affected individuals and groups to share their experiences and insights. This inclusive approach is designed to build iru5L promote dialogue. and enhance the sense of community solidarity, which are essential components of social cohesion. The Commission employs a comprehensive approach to gathering evidence. aiming for thoroughness and inclusivity. Their methods include: Public Hearings and Testimonies: The commission hold5 public he2riT]gs to gather individual experiences from community members. These hearings are essential for understsnding the personal impacts of the violence and to infonn the commission's conclusions and recommendations. Engagement with Local Communities: The commission ¢mphasises participation from local conimunities, including religious and youth organisations. This engagement is designed to ensure a wide range of voices and perspectives are heard, which is crucial foT a holistic UndStanding of the events.

Analysis of Social Media and Independent Actors: The Commission also investigates the role of social media and independent actors in both - exacert)ating and mitigating th¢ viol¢n¢e. which is ¢rucial for understanding the dynamics of the confltct. 5: Far right riots (Summer 2024) Since summer 2024, we have travelled extensively meeting people and communlties directly affected by far right violence in 27 cities and speaking to a few of those whose neighbours or relatives were involved in public disturbances. The PUTpose of our visits was to understsnd the str¢ngth of the far-right groups and their reach and to prepare, enable and empower communities under attack. In mid-AugusL only weeks after the public disturbances, together wlth other groups we organised ihree meeting. ¢a¢h of these were attended by around 80 people, bringing a cross Section of diverse communities to discuss the way forward for the thtur¢. Contrary to what is claimed by some oificial experts on the subject, the racist rioting in Summer this year was unprecedent in British History - the 1919 race rioling are probably comparable if one discounts the role of social media today. Although limited in fomal organising. this is th¢ first occasion in post-war Britain that far right groups were able to orchestrate and Coordinate violent protests tar¥eting spaces, resources and sites used by Migrant and Musli communities in 27 towns in England and N Ireland. The most severe rioting took place over the weekend of 3-4 August, when far right protesters attacked homes and businesses owned by immigrdnts and attacked hotels housing asylum seekers. The disorder included racial violence. arson and looting. The shape of far-right dis¢ourse is focused on alleged migrant or Muslim criminality and sexual violence against white women and children, and the alleged degradation by migrants of the quality of evcryday, especially urban, suburban and even rural life. Alongside are other far-right themes of distrust of the institutions of the media, politics, law, policing and a¢¢ess to health service. These institutions are seen as favouring Tacialised minorities or are delib¢ral¢ly unfair or deceptive to the native populatiory or are agents of 'globalist', '¢lite', 'deep state. or'woke, forces. Page 6
Docusign Envelope ID.. 07A8ASBB-E3FF494F-A9DEgAE3AFA2A3 The Monitoring Group Limited Report of the Trnstees for the year ended 31 March 2025 However, within this far-right configuralion, there is now considerable space for non-white right-wing and far-right for¢e5 to align with while supremacist and nativist projects, including sections of minority communities who are anti-migrant (despite being migrants themselves). For the first time in post war British history, these forces are represented through Reforn] UK in UK paTliaTnent and their views are shored by the l¢adership of the opposition party. In addition, follomryng unprecedented. large-scale violence in Leice5teT in September 2022 between Hindus and Muslim5, it no accident that Tommy Robinson made a call to his supporters thxt they should go to Leicester to defend Hindus. Among several Hindu far-Tight groups, Robinson's words and videos are not only actively disseminated but h¢ is invTrted to share speaking platfonns with Hindutva ideologues and welcomed in India by the BJP-led government (REFS). Robinson's political ideology is actively pro-Hindutva and anti-muslim. For us to challenge the racism of the far righi in the CUTrent political and social environment underpinned by decides of austerity and otticial demonisation of particulaT racialised groups. we need an innovative grass roots approach. We wlsh to recTuiI a part time community mobiliser who will be tsskcd to.. - engage with racialised communities with - to work with young people so that effective support groups within localities can be established - to create national training on community mobilising that can be delivered in an accessibl¢ manner - to work with trade unions so that community hubs - delivering much needed r¢sources - can be piloted in disaffected and poorer localities where the far right have gained support Some of the work described above 15 already being undertaken but in an adho¢ and disjointed manner. For IDStance, there have been widespread meetings held to Create an Asian D¢fian¢e Network bringing young and older activists of South Asian Origin together. We are also in contact with activists based in communities and housing estates who have are keen to develop a broader movemenl to Challenge the far right - in all its variants - with equal detemination and thal requires a medium to long tenn strategy. FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestri¢ted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets ("the free reserves") held by the charity should be equal to 3 months of unrestricted operating expenditure, which equated to £25.000 in general fvnds. At this level the Trustees f¢¢1 that they would be able to continue the cu)Tent activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or a¢tivities changed. The Management Committee has examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks lo the organisation. The present level of reserves available to the charity met the tsrget level. Although the strategy is to continue to build reserves through planned operdting surpluses, the Management Committee has a150 considered the extent to which existing activitie5 can be rationalised. should such circumslances arise. FirruRE PLANS The Monitoring Group continues to build contacts with n¢w funders and make bids to develop its work strat¢gically complernenting its operational response to the problem of racism is all its f0rn15. The current landscape on funding is changing significantly but we rernain hopeful in galvanising our resources on a national b&8is. as one of the pivotal organisations in the UK that supports victims and communities experiencing the problem. A key element in our development plan is to increase our profile with private funders and usage of social media and media outlets.
