A mapping of the race equality sector in England and Wales.
The Funders for Race Equality Alliance is commissioning a consultancy project to carry out a mapping of the race equality sector in England and Wales.
This work is needed in order to get a better understanding of the current and emergent race equality sector and its players in order to support the sector to thrive and have impact, voice and influence. It will also help the Alliance and other funders identify the implications for funding.
The deadline for applications is Friday 26 June at 12pm.

The race equality sector has historically been at risk and under resourced, and still is. Funding programmes in England and Wales do not reach people equally because the playing field is not level, thus weakening the infrastructure, resilience and capacity of organisations addressing race inequality. Despite these problems, there is also evidence of increasing activism from newer movements, organisations and individuals who have adopted new approaches to achieving change.
About the project
This work takes place in the context of the Covid-19 crisis that has further highlighted the significant social, economic and health inequalities faced by BME people. There are also concerns about the fate of the BME and race equality sector, which has been historically underfunded, yet finds itself on the front line of this crisis.
The consultancy project will address the following issues:
- Define key terms and outline the scope of what types of organisations/activities might be considered to deliver racial equality
- Identify the players in the field
- Clarify the issues the sector is working on
- Analyse what the sector looks like in different parts of England and Wales
The post-holder will produce:
- an interim report,
- a final report (including a resource of key organisations),
- a presentation to the Alliance.
Time frame
- Submission of responses: 26 June 2020
- Interviews: Mid July 2020
- Appointment: Late July 2020
- Research progress update: September 2020
- Interim report: December 2020
