Race Equality Week is an annual UK-wide movement uniting thousands of organisations and individuals to address the barriers to race equality in the workplace.
The events of 2020, including the Black Lives Matter movement and the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on ethnic minority communities, has heightened public consciousness of race inequality.
Now there is a need to galvanise and maximise impact through a nationwide collaboration for real change.
A CATALYST FOR ONGOING CHANGE
Race Equality Week unites employees, focuses senior leaders, and unites organisations. It also encourages them to continue their activity and drive race equality all year long.
This year’s theme is #ActionNotJustWords
There are three ways you can get involved:
Run your own activities and implement Race Equality Matters solutions
Join public events
Raise the profile of your organisation by sponsoring Race Equality Week
BE PART OF THE SOLUTION THAT CREATES THE CHANGE WE ALL WANT TO SEE
More than 2000 organisations took part in the first Race Equality Week in February 2021, building on their own race activity and/or accessing and implementing the solutions, tools and resources we have co-created with those with lived experience.
“Race Equality Week has the potential to be game-changing. In the way, it combines conscious allyship with a strong peer network.”
The emphasis is to drive meaningful action that makes an impact.
Race Equality will only be achieved when we all play a part.
Hence, we have bold ambitions to double the number of organisations and people participating in 2022 to make a bigger impact and for us to start to see the change we want to see and feel.
Join the movement. Unite in action this Race Equality Week to challenge race inequality across the UK.
“Race Equality Week provides a real opportunity for us to be a force for good.”

“The passion was felt at the very beginning when clients were called to rise up and be part of Race Equality Week. The enthusiasm continued and just grew and has continued to grow throughout the process. A true eye-opener on racial inequalities. I can see that we will NOT go back to normal!!!”
