Statement on the Racist and Islamophobic Riots across the UK.

At ateb, we are deeply troubled by the recent rise in racism and Islamophobia across the UK.

These hateful acts are not just attacks on individuals based on their race, ethnicity, or faith – they are attacks on our shared humanity and the values we hold dear.

We recognise the profound impact they have on how safe and welcome our customers feel in their homes, communities, and workplaces. This is completely unacceptable.

We want to be clear: discrimination in any form has no place here. If you or someone you know has been affected by these events, please know that we stand with you. Together, we can build a future where everyone, regardless of their background, can live freely and authentically, without fear of discrimination or violence.

If you have experienced a hate crime we’d encourage you to report it.

We can provide you with assistance in reporting a crime to the Police and in attending court, but there is no pressure to do this. Even if you do not need support yourself, it is still important for us to know what offences are taking place and where.

To report a hate crime you can:

Call the Police directly by dialling 999 if you are in immediate danger, or 101 for non-emergencies.

Ring 0300 30 31 982 (which is a FREE telephone number that can be contacted by landline and mobiles) to contact Victim Support directly. Calls are treated confidentially and you have the option to remain anonymous.
