Support to Victims of Racial Harassment and Discrimination

The support project began in 2000 as a direct response to the needs of our service users. The project aims to provide practical advice and support to those who have experienced racist harassment and discrimination. We use a client centred approach and ensure a safe and confidential environment for people to share their experiences with us. We assist people with issues around housing, compensation claims, liaising with the police and communities. In addition to our work with individuals we also work within communities raising awareness and supporting them in promoting anti-racism.
