Voice4Change England and ACEVO have released the final report in the year-long Making Diversity Count project, Home Truths: Undoing racism and delivering real diversity in the charity sector.
Home Truths is not a report that asks if there is a problem with ‘race’ equity in the charity sector. It has long been known that there is an under-representation of BAME people working in the charity sector, and that under-representation is worse in senior leadership roles. Instead, this report seeks to reframe the ‘diversity’ debate, saying that racism is a significant and unresolved issue in the charity sector just as it is in the rest of society.
