Proudly independent, we speak truth to power on race and racism without fear or favour. We are not swayed by political agenda, profit or popular opinion. From broadening the curriculum to exposing the Windrush scandal, our work is rooted in challenging structural racism and its impact on people of colour. Our authoritative research-based interventions equip decision makers, practitioners and the general public with the knowledge and tools to deliver genuine progress towards racial justice in Britain.
Today, the argument for racial justice is advanced on many more fronts than in 1968. The past four years has seen a sharp uptick in public commitments on racism from civil society organisations, public sector bodies and corporates. This moment offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to embrace and build upon this ground-up swell of energy for change.
Racism damages lives in every civic domain – from the racialised outcome of the cost of living crisis to the recent racist riots, Britain in 2024 is still not different enough from the Britain that saw the murder of Stephen Lawrence 30 years ago.
With its peerless track record and reputation, the Runnymede Trust can and will play a uniquely enabling role: as the convenor of all voices, as a deep reservoir of evidence and best practice in research, and as a bold advocate for racial justice. The courage, leadership and resilience required as we press for change will be significant; but if we persevere, the prize is invaluable.
