In order to effectively overcome racial inequality in society. Since 1968, the Runnymede Trust has worked tirelessly to represent the lives of those millions of Britons who constitute this country’s Black and ethnic minority communities and to build a Britain in which all citizens and communities feel valued, enjoy equal opportunities, lead fulfilling lives, and share a common sense of belonging.
In recent years their work has included playing a key role in bringing the Windrush Scandal to light; publishing landmark reports on Islamophobia, Race & Class, and COVID-19 inequalities; producing groundbreaking research with Penguin Random House to expand the English Literature curriculum; and highlighting racial disparities across labour markets, education and criminal justice in mainstream media.
