What is the Race Equality Hub?
The Race Equality Hub (REH), commissioned by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA), is dedicated to tackling systemic inequalities and creating opportunities for Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic employees, residents, and businesses. Its mission is to drive inclusivity, equity, and positive change across the region.
The Hub supports employers, partners, and stakeholders in fostering fair treatment and equal opportunities, helping organisations unlock their potential while ensuring everyone is valued and respected. Diversity and inclusion are at the core of the REH’s work, promoting workplaces where individuals can thrive and contribute fully.
By taking positive actions, the REH is building a more equitable Liverpool City Region. Learn more about its vision and impact on the official Race Equality Hub page.
