Race Equality Week 2025

From 3rd to 9th February 2025, Race Equality Week will unite hundreds of thousands of individuals and organisations across the UK to tackle workplace race inequality and find actionable solutions.

By uniting different organisations, it brings communities together and makes race equality the norm across the UK.

Race Equality Week is an annual movement that unites organisations in a collaborative effort to combat race inequality. By uniting different organisations, it fosters stronger communities and helps establish race equality the norm across the UK.

This Year’s Focus

Race Equality Week continues to build on recent themes promoting the message that race equality is ‘Everyone’s Business.’ This year, the focus shifts to action with the theme #EveryActionCounts.

This year’s theme seeks to drive positive change in workplaces and communities, moving beyond discussion and listening, as in past years.
