About us
Who we are
Anti Racist Cumbria aims to create the UK’s first actively anti-racist county. We have a plan of how to achieve it and proof that our steps so far are already working.
Anti Racist Cumbria began life in 2020 as a voluntary organisation, today we are a registered charity, employing a growing team of anti-racist professionals who help shape and deliver our work with organisations, educators, leaders and communities.
Anti Racist Cumbria has already created huge waves and made a difference, it works strategically with those in power to become anti-racist, supports communities at a grassroots level to do the same whilst uplifting the voices of Cumbria’s Black, Brown and minoritised communities too.
Our culture and values
We are committed to:
- Learning. Enriching our own and supporting others with theirs.
- Excellence. Bringing our best to all we do and say.
- Fairness. Recognising that views may differ but shared humanity doesn’t.
- Belonging. Creating environments where people can be themselves.
- Action. Challenging inaction in ourselves and others.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
At our core we are about striving for equity and justice, and the work that we do goes beyond EDI.
Our policies are based on real change and challenging the status quo.
