Racial Justice
Racial Justice is one of our core values. We are committed to being anti-racist as an initiative and supporting our grant and funder partners to develop their practices to be more anti-racist. Whilst we value this, we are far from achieving it and recognise it is an area in which learning and development is continuous.
We work with our Anti-Racist Advisory Group which is a mix of internal grant committee members, grant partners, staff and experts in racial justice. They meet three times per year to advise on the development of our racial justice work, and support staff to remain accountable to our anti-racist goals and feed recommendations into our board.
Racial justice programme
Our racial justice programme is a series of interventions designed to advance racial justice in the migration sector.
Aims of the programme
Organisations increase their racial literacy and have an understanding of how immigration policy and practices within the sector interact with racism and affect people’s lives.
Organisations strengthen their racial analysis so that they are able to understand and articulate their contribution to racial justice within the sector.
Organisations are equipped with the tools to implement structures and practices within their organisations that are rooted in racial justice principles.
To support the sustainability of organisations that are:
- led by the global majority
- led by the global majority and carrying out racial justice work
2026
Our upcoming interventions for 2026 are:
Beyond Beef: Navigating Conflict Through an Anti-Racist Lens
This is a unique learning journey designed to help organisations navigate conflict in healthier, more confident ways, with a focus on antiracist approaches.
This programme acknowledges the very real tensions we experience across the migration sector – both the systemic conflicts we face and the internal conflicts that show up within our organisations and communities. The aim is to build the skills, grounding, and shared language needed to navigate these moments with care, courage, and an anti-racist approach.
Community of Practice with JMB Consulting
A facilitated peer‑learning space focused on applying racial analysis, sharing challenges, and building sustainable anti‑racist practice.
2025
In 2025 we worked with four organisations to carry out the aims of our racial justice programme. Over 60 people took part in the programme over 2025.
Racial Justice Network
The Racial Justice Network is dedicated to working for racial justice across the UK through education, research, and community action.
This intervention consisted of two elements:
- Unlearning Racism
A political education space using a pedagogical approach to support participants to unlearn the conditioning of white supremacy (a system of power that maintains and normalises the political, economic, social, and cultural dominance of white people.) - Repair Space
A caucused space (a facilitated session where people separate into groups based on a shared identity or experience) for people racialised as Black and Brown or those with migration experience. Based on the principles of repair, this space brought together and centred those who are most at risk of racialised harm within organisations
