Community Development

The Race Equality Centre provides support and advice to groups and organisations from racial minority backgrounds, which is designed to enhance their ability to proactively participate in political, social and economic activities.

The REC's community development activities include work with established communities and with new arrivals. We also deliver targeted work with women and young people from racial minority communities, working to enhance leadership from within alienated communities.
