The Commission for Racial Equality was set up under the 1976 Race Relations Act. It receives an annual grant from the Home Office, but works independently of Government. The CRE is run by commissioners appointed by the Home Secretary, and has support from all the main political parties. The CRE has the following three main duties.

The CRE has three main duties:

  • To work towards the elimination of racial discrimination and to promote equality of opportunity.
  • To encourage good relations between people from different racial backgrounds.
  • To monitor the way the Race Relations Act is working and recommend ways in which it can be improved.

The CRE is the only Government-appointed body with statutory power to enforce the race Relations Act.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
