We will nurture a robust ecosystem for racial justice: comprising a wide range of organisations, assets, capabilities, skills, and leadership within a racially diverse community of VCSE organisations. We will behave in a way that honours and builds capacity and does not extract or detract from what has been grown by and for communities.

We can only do our job well if our organisation is led by the communities we represent and serve and constantly elevating that community capacity and agency.

We will represent marginalised voices competently, being careful not to speak for or over the voices themselves, with the intention that perspectives are heard and represented and that listening well is normal.

Our approach will embrace the human in every one of us, the power of learning as a goal, and the complexity of non-linear systemic change over generations (Human. Learning. Systems.)

We will seek long-term resourcing that allows us to maintain the focus on our mission over time. We will hold organisations to account for the commitments they make to racial justice and equity by being a consistent, enduring partner for improvement.

We will keep up to date with latest guidance, policy, regulation, movements, data and insights both locally and nationally and will work with others so that this data is readily available to inform, and regularly scrutinised and improved if it is misleading or insufficient.

We will support communities to understand and relate with one another by supporting the production of guidance (information, insights, facts and stories) which nurtures richer inter-cultural and inter-racial awareness and competence.

In drawing attention to the experience, facts and voices of diverse ethnic communities we will seek to influence local decision-making and campaign for policy and legislative reform more widely.
