Background to the Windrush Justice Programme
ARE is a national race equality charity and our mission is to end race inequality. We work collaboratively to support, empower and inspire young people and strengthen civil society organisations that support them.
The Windrush Justice Programme
In June 2020 Windrush lawyer and campaigner Jacqueline McKenzie began work to research and explore the landscape for grassroots organisations working on the implications of the Windrush scandal.
The report highlighted how, with little to no resources, the work of grassroots organisations has been remarkable. Their work, particularly their activism, has enabled the issues to be kept in the public domain and has brought pressure to bear on government.
Action for Race Equality’s Windrush Justice Programme distributes small grants and provides bespoke organisational development support to grassroots organisations that support people with their applications to the Windrush Schemes.
