"As Lord Mayor of the City of London, diversity and inclusion was at the heart of my role. I'm glad to say that we have seen some progress, particularly on gender and LGBTQ+ but we know there is much more to do, especially on race. Race Equality Week, such a simple but brilliant concept, provides everyone with the perfect opportunity to keep the momentum for change going, and even accelerating."
Dame Fiona Woolf DBE, DL
Former Lord Mayor of London (2013/14)
“My name is my heritage and my ancestry. It has closed and opened doors for me, it has been a source of shame and othering and equally my sense of identity and individuality. The #MyNameIs campaign has helped me to reclaim it and I now say it more proudly.”
Sara [sah-rah] Chezari [chees-ah-ree]
Support and Development Officer | Connected Voice
"Why do we need Race Equality Week? Quite simply because we do not have race equality and, until we do, we have to do everything we can to achieve it through the kind of action and collaboration that Race Equality Week can mobilise. I urge every organisation to participate."
Nicholas Cheffings
Senior Counsel | Hogan Lovells
"Diversity UK is pleased to be a founding partner of the Race Equality Matters because progress on improving race representation at all levels in corporate life, civil society and the public sector in Britain has been too slow. We all need to work towards building back the trust and support of the disadvantaged and disenfranchised and Race Equality Matters is the ideal flag bearer for this progress."
Lopa Patel
Chair | Diversity UK
“The Tea Break is just what we need. I believe that if this had existed previously then many more organisations would have made significantly more progress in their efforts to tackling race inequality."
Carol Elderfield
