The Equality Foundation is a registered charity that was established in 2000. We are dedicated to championing equality of opportunity by advancing education and research on equality, increasing economic empowerment, and providing practical projects that promote the employment prospects, education, training, and skills of marginalised communities.
In 2021, we rebranded as The Equality Foundation to focus on addressing racial inequality and working towards improving the lives of Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities.
We believe that everyone has the right to equal opportunities, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. We are committed to working towards a more just and equitable society where everyone has the chance to succeed.
At Equality Foundation, we believe that a strong and positive culture is built on a foundation of shared values. These values guide us in everything we do, from key business decisions to our daily work. They are the foundation of our charity and are integral to our mission of promoting equal opportunities for marginalised communities through education, research, and practical projects.
We are transparent, honest, and accountable in all our actions. We are committed to doing what is right, even when it is difficult or uncomfortable. Integrity builds trust and credibility.
We value the unique perspectives and contributions of people from all backgrounds and experiences. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone is respected, valued, and heard.
We strive for fairness and equality in everything we do. We treat people with respect and dignity, and we are committed to creating a level playing field for all.
The Equality Foundation is a registered charity that was established in 2000, originally under the name Aborian Charity. In 2021, we rebranded as The Equality Foundation, focusing on addressing racial inequality in public services and working towards improving the lives of Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities.
The Equality Foundation is a respected and well-established charity known for its fairness, forward-thinking, and reliability. We have a strong reputation within the BAME community, particularly among those of Horn of African origin, as well as with grassroots minority groups, donors, and policymakers. We are often sought out as a leading resource for advice and guidance in advocating for change to improve the lives of BAME communities in the UK.
Through the years, we have invested heavily in building a network of organisations that work to address social inequality in the UK, with whom we regularly collaborate on programmes and advocacy efforts. Our central role in these networks allows us to quickly disseminate initiatives, share important information with the community, and develop joint advocacy strategies around common themes and challenges.

Their expertise in budgeting, financial planning, and fundraising allows us to secure the necessary resources to support our mission.
Our board of trustees forms a cohesive and dynamic team, combining their diverse expertise and knowledge to drive our vision forward. Their shared passion for social change and commitment to making a difference empowers our charity to create a brighter and more equitable future for communities in need.
