We Stand Competitors

Our work focuses on the organised far right, the communities who are susceptible to them and the issues and policies which give rise to them. We build skills and resilience across communities and civil society organisations, creating an alternative narrative of togetherness and unity. We leverage the power of HOPE by creating a platform for ordinary people to do the extraordinary. That includes supporting the wider sector to have greater impact in opposing hatred in all its forms through more effective collaboration and sharing of skills, promotion of social cohesion and defending Britain’s multicultural and multiracial society. Through our work, we defend, champion and promote democracy and the rule of law; speaking out against anti-democratic and authoritarian forces and policies. To do all of this, we work to build, nurture and safeguard a powerful team of staff, volunteers and supporters, including investing in staff and volunteer learning and development. With our roots firmly and proudly in the British antifascist movement, our approach strategic, remaining agile and meeting and overcoming threats. We are continually researching and reassessing the political and extremist landscape, ready to meet the challenges we face.

The Runnymede Trust is the UK's leading independent race equality think tank. For more than 50 years, we have worked tirelessly to build a Britain in which we all belong. Proudly independent, we speak truth to power on race and racism without fear or favour. We are not swayed by political agenda, profit or popular opinion. We are authentic, led by an ethnically diverse team, we draw from our lived experience and that of our wide and inclusive community and partnership networks. From broadening the curriculum to exposing the Windrush Scandal, our work is rooted in challenging structural racism and its impact on our communities. Our authoritative research-based interventions equip decision makers, practitioners and citizens with the knowledge and tools to deliver genuine progress towards racial equality in Britain.

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 Follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/raceequality Donate here: https://raceequalityfoundation.org.uk/about-us/
