With heavy hearts, we announce that On Your Side will close on 31 March 2026.

This decision comes in the context of an extremely challenging funding climate. Over the past year, we have worked tirelessly to secure sustainable funding to ensure the future of the service. Despite these efforts, we have not been able to raise the level of funding required to continue delivering a national service of this scale and depth.

Since launching in August 2022, On Your Side has provided more than 5,000 hours of specialist support to over 800 people from East and Southeast Asian communities facing racism, discrimination, and hate across the UK.

Over the past few days the streets of Britain have seen a surge in coordinated racist and islamaphobic violence. We have seen rioters targeting mosques and hotels hosting people seeking asylum, organised identity-based intimidation, destruction of public property, and civil unrest.

We at On Your Side are appalled by and unequivocally condemn the violence being committed by the far-right in the UK. We stand in solidarity with those who have been affected and all communities across the UK who have been made to feel unsafe.

Disability Pride Month is a new concept for me. I found out that it came from the USA – coinciding with the American Disability Act (ADA) in the 1990’s – but it was not well known. The UK had the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) in 2002. I remember celebrating on my own in Austin, Texas when I found out about it. Time to return to the UK, I had thought. This was replaced by the Equality Act 2010. There are people who would still say a venue is DDA compliant to this day!
