HISTORY
The Plymouth and District Racial Equality Council was established in 1993, it developed out of the West Devon Anti-Racist Group, a community organisation that was run by volunteers for many years, without national funding. In 1995 the Commission for Racial Equality agreed to fund a development worker, and in 1997 to fund the post of Director. The organisation has now expanded and does a variety of work that covers the four areas of community development, policy development, race related case work and public education and campaigning.VISION AND VALUES
