For years The Race Equality Centre has helped people from all communities with finding solutions to problems of racial injustice and by bringing about equality of outcomes.

The City Council funds some of the activities that we provide so it is delivered to the public free of charge.

However the City Council is planning to only fund organisations that are run and supported by national communities representing nation groups of the City’s population. This is being done despite being advised that this approach is divisive; likely to achieve the opposite to community cohesion; does not address equality of outcomes; and, is a retrograde step.

TREC does not represent just one community but helps everyone who has been treated unlawfully, regardless of their race, colour or ethnic origin.

We know some of the individuals that need us come from small communities whilst others are isolated and vulnerable within larger communities but, the Council is determined to stop us from offering that help.

Sign the petition to make sure the Council does not discriminate against any individual and continues to support us for the benefit of all the City’s residents.
