The fourth annual Hate Crime Awareness week starts today (Monday) in Manchester.

Paralympian gold medallist Adrian Derbyshire OBE is hosting the first event.

The hate crime campaigner suffered a brain haemorrhage in 2008 and lost the use of his legs. In 2012 he went on to win a gold medal in fencing.

Various events will be hosted around the city open to the public with the hope to show how much of a problem hate crimes have become.
