Meet Hate Crime Hank – a dinosaur helping Lincolnshire Police to raise awareness of hate crime.

Hank hates anyone who isn’t like him – from their appearance to simply being who they are. If he continues to spread hate, he may well end up committing a hate crime.

The message from the police is not to be a dinosaur like Hank and that communities can help make hate crime a thing of the past.

‘Hate Crime Hank’ launches as part National Hate Crime Awareness Week 2019, which runs from 12 to 19 October.

Hate crime in Lincolnshire has increased from 432 incidents in 2017/18 to 643 in 2018/19 – a 49% increase.

During this period disability related hate crimes have increased by 20% and racially aggravated offences by 50%. Offences relating to sexuality or transgender identity have increased by 76% and 71% respectively.

The only type of hate crime to reduce is faith-related hate crimes, which dropped by 15%.

Chief Inspector Steve Williamson, force lead for hate crime, says:

“There is never any excuse for committing a hate crime and we don’t tolerate anyone who feels it is acceptable to cause distress or for someone to live in fear.

“Please don’t ever try to shrug off a hate crime as these crimes have the potential to escalate into something even more serious.

“Police recording of hate crime has improved significantly so this increase isn’t a surprise to us and we now have a more accurate picture of hate crime in Lincolnshire.

“We hope that Hate Crime Hank will help us raise awareness of the consequences of hate towards others and encourage communities to continue reporting offences to us.”

Police and Crime Commissioner, Marc Jones, says:

“Hate crime continues to be underreported and nationally we know that around 40% of hate crimes are not reported to the police. This means that our officers didn’t hear about 250 incidents last year.

“I welcome the fact that more victims are having the confidence to come forward and report this despicable abuse and it’s vital that their cases are properly investigated.”

A hate crime can result in a criminal record, a fine or even a custodial sentence. Any crime can be a hate crime if there has been hate or hostility towards the victim.

If you are a victim of hate crime or you have witnessed one please call 101, or 999 if someone is in immediate danger.

If you don’t wish to speak with the police, please report to Stop Hate UK on 0800 138 1625 or visit www.stophateuk.org

In 2020 we mark the 1300th anniversary of the death of Grantham Parish Church’s Patron, St Wulfram. 

Not many churches can date the year of their patron’s death, but the 20th March marks the date of Wulfram’s death and the 15th October, the date we celebrate St Wulfram’s Day here in Grantham is the anniversary of the translation of his relics.

Rector, Fr Stuart said:‘It would be a huge failing of us as a community if we were to ignore this important milestone in our long history, and so we have a number of events and celebrations lined up to mark this incredibly important year.’

The most important event in the list of things to happen next year is something which is both unique, very special and hugely historical.

On the 20th March 2020 (the anniversary of the death of Wulfram) + Dom Jean-Charles Nault, Abbott of Wandrille, France will be bring to Grantham the relic of Wulfram. The relic will then be kept a St Wulfram’s for a number of months during our celebration year before being returned to Wandrille.

This is truly a rare and very special privilege, not only of the recognition of the Roman Catholic Community in France to an Anglican Church, but also a significant sign of friendship and trust in us as a community of faith. A faith which goes beyond geographical and political bounds.

This is only the second time in modern history that this remarkable ecumenical act of faith, love and trust has ever been done and so indeed Grantham and St Wulfram’s are truly blessed.

On the 20^th March plans are beginning to come together to mark this occasion in a wonderful memorial way, a formal greeting by the Mayor and Charter Trustees at the Guildhall with a huge colourful and impressive procession through the town to the formal reception of the relic of Wulfram at St Wulfram’s Church.

The torch light procession we hope will include the people of Grantham, local, regional, national and international dignitaries, representatives of all the Benedictine Houses in England, huge images of Wulfram, Ragbod (the king of Fresiha) children in costumes, music and other senior church representatives.

Amongst the other activities which are being planned include…

• Visiting preachers from the Deans of the eastern cathedrals which formed part of the medieval eastern pilgrimage route, which St Wulfram’s was part of.

• A community wide Stations of the Cross project working with local and internationally known artists. One internationally known artist who has been approached to take part is the Islamic Street Artist Mohammed Ali.

• Grantham Vintage Festival – a new community celebration based at Grantham House, celebrating the spirit of Britain from the 1920’s to the 1960’s
• Community Music Festival led by Lincolnshire Music Service, celebrating local and county wide talent

• Gravity fields

• An environmental conference

• A Festival of Angels – led by local artist engaging with the community to create a heavenly host of angels inside and outside St Wulfram’s.

• And throughout the year will also be chances for people to engage with the Christian Faith through various course and events.

Plus many many more activities and celebrations.

Fr Stuart said, ‘I very much hope that this year is truly a year in which we as a community celebrate our patron and our love of God so that we may continue to grow in our faith and understanding of the God who inspired Wulfram to leave the comfort of his life as an Archbishop to show others the life and love of God.’

A review of 75,000 households across the county claiming single person discount on their council tax has identified £1.3millon being claimed incorrectly or fraudulently.

Lincolnshire authorities are getting smarter and more effective at fighting fraud. 

As a result of these checks, 3,441 discounts were taken away from people who were not entitled to them, and this is now being reclaimed.

Councillor Alex Maughan, Lincolnshire County Council’s Counter-Fraud Champion said: “Council tax fraud takes money away from local services, and is unfair on the vast majority of people who pay the correct bill. 

“It’s important that we investigate and take appropriate action against people claiming discounts and exemptions that they are not entitled to.”

Enforcement action has been taken against 500 of these people as they have either failed to respond or have provided misleading information.

Since 2007, £4.7m pounds of fraud against councils has been detected, including procurement fraud, bank mandate fraud and financial mis-management.

Lucy Pledge Head of Internal Audit & Risk Management at Lincolnshire County Council said: “Lincolnshire councils are working together to tackle fraud by sharing resources and information. We have a zero tolerance approach to all forms of fraud, corruption and theft.

“Over the coming months, our next focus will be on procurement fraud, financial mismanagement and identifying where business rates have not been paid.”
