The campaign is building

Since I blogged yesterday many more of you have returned the survey. We now have almost 4,000, which is fantastic.

More encouragingly, over 850 people have indicated that they would be interested in becoming HOPE not hate organisers in their local areas. Added to our existing operation I'm confident that we will soon have a national network that spans every part of England, Scotland and Wales. We have even had quite a bit of interest from Northern Ireland so we might be able to get something off the ground there.

Our challenge now is to put in place the infrastructure to train these organisers and provide them with the resources and skills required to deliver local campaigns. I'll be announcing a few ideas about this in the next couple of days.
