Our activities

Evidence

We gather data and conduct research to help us identify ways in which societal racial inequalities impact people in our communities.

Influence

We engage with policy makers to address the structural barriers to racial equality and ensure that policy and practice does not continue to amplify the negative impacts of inequality.

Campaign

We initiate and share evidence-based knowledge with the public, to positively impact our communities.

Intervention and prevention

We intervene to prevent racial inequalities from being realised and to mitigate the impacts of racial inequalities already experienced.

Direct support

Our diverse practitioners work at the heart of our communities providing direct support, knowledge and information where it is needed most.

Review

With people with lived experience to continually review what works, why and with whom, to share best practice with policy makers and commissioners.

Our history

We were established as the National Institute for Social Work’s Race Equality Unit in 1987, became an independent, national and Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic led charity in 1995, and changed our name to the Race Equality Foundation in 2006.

We had yet another successful year.
