Action for Race Equality has been funded by Comic Relief and partners’ Global Majority Fund to run a year-long programme supporting small organisations and entrepreneurs to improve employability outcomes for young Black, Asian and Mixed-heritage people.
ARE is an intermediary partner due to our established track record in supporting young people from Global Majority backgrounds into employment, education and enterprise.
