Our trustees

Making a difference every day. We think, and then do.


We are passionate about the work we do break down the barriers facing people who are Black, Asian or of Mixed Heritage. Our people bring their energy and commitment to roles as programme and project managers, researchers, consultants, trainers and facilitators. We’re always interested in hearing from people who believe that race inequality can be removed from the key institutions that influence so much of our lives as citizens – education, employment, and the law.
