About Action for Race Equality
For over 30 years Action for Race Equality (ARE) has been working to end race inequality for Black, Asian and mixed heritage communities. It is a ‘Do Tank’ – relying on action, and not just words, to campaign for fairness, challenge discrimination, provide training and pioneer solutions to empower young people through education, employment and enterprise. Through capacity building training programmes, consultancy, policy and research ARE has played a key role in supporting the infrastructure of Black, Asian and minority-ethnic-led organisations amplifying their voice and experiences across the sector and ensuring it reaches policy makers to influence lasting systemic change.
