Corra’s work on racial equity

We have been learning and thinking about what racial equity and racial justice means to us as a funder, as an organisation and as a partner. Most importantly we have been listening and talking with Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities across Scotland. This has helped shape and inform racial equity across all areas of our work and contribute towards wider racial justice in Scotland.
