Race Equality Foundation
We are a national charity tackling racial inequality in public services to improve the lives of Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. We became an independent charitable organisation in 1995, and in 2006, changed our name to the Race Equality Foundation.
The Race Equality Foundation promotes race equality in social support (what families and friends do for each other) and public services (what ‘workers’ do with people who need support). We do this by:
- exploring what is known about discrimination and disadvantage
- developing evidenced-based better practice to promote equality
- disseminating better practice through educational activities, conferences, written material and websites.
We work with a range of national and local partners from the community, voluntary, statutory and social enterprise sectors who are delivering health, housing, social care and parenting support.

Better Health
The Better Health webpages brings together a rapidly expanding collection of free-to-view briefing papers, resources and weblinks, which are designed to help staff tackle discrimination and disadvantage and embed the promotion of race equality into their everyday work.
We have produced two briefings on organ donation as part of the part health project:
- Better Health 23: Achieving equality in organ donation and transplantation in the UK: Challenges and solutions
- Better Health 25: Overcoming barriers to registering as an organ donor among minority ethnic groups
