About Us
Race Equality Foundation is a registered national charity which tackles racial inequality in public services to improve the lives of Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.
We believe that everyone should be provided with the opportunities to flourish. We do this by:
- Exploring what is known about discrimination and disadvantage
- Using that knowledge to develop evidence-based interventions to overcome barriers and promote equality
- Sharing this knowledge and good practice through educational and public activities and materials
- Working with national and local partners from the community, voluntary, statutory and social enterprise sectors and intervening in national debates impacting Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities
We have delivered change through a range of ground-breaking projects, including:
- the Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities parenting programme
- Pioneering research which saw us interview 38 Black and minority ethnic young disabled people to understand their experience of independence and independent living
- Work on improving blood pressure testing by African and Caribbean men through the use of community facilities such as barber shops
