Race & Ethnicity

It is a fact that our nation has always been influenced by the presence of different races and nationalities and their undeniable contribution to our culture and economy. But the struggle against ethnic and racial discrimination in the UK is not yet over.Throughout society there are still subtle and sometime explicit racial stereotypes and prejudices displayed everyday.The Great British Community is dedicated to continue emphasising the contribution of diverse ethnic cultures and racial diversity to our modern British Identity.

You’ll find content celebrating the invaluable contributions from people of various races and nationalities; from the achievements of BME Brits in sport, refugees in music, asylum-seekers in psychology to migrants in medicine.

We are seeking volunteers of all types to work with us. You can write, create a film or infographic, tell your story, suggest ideas for new work and web content, agree to an interview or fundraise for us. You can help us  by simply sharing the  resources below to like minded friends and family by email or social media. Join us and help us create a truly GREAT BRITISH COMMUNITY.
