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

In pursuit of our aims the organisation has identified the following strategic priorities:

  • To increase the effectiveness of local race equality work and support organisations to deliver the statutory duty
  • To support the development of an active and vibrant black and minority ethnic community and voluntary sector
  • To work in partnership to build a safe and strong community for all which values and celebrates diversity
  • To meet the challenge of the wider equality agenda and ensure the development of a strategic city wide approach to equality issues
  • To consolidate current services and practices and establish a secure basis for future work

PDREC is a membership organisation that welcomes both individual and organisation members.
