| Background Information | The Runnymede Trust seeks to promote equality and participation for Britain's minority ethnic communities. Formed in the year of Enoch Powell's notorious Rivers of Blood speech, the Trust's original aim was to combat discrimination against Black and Asian communities, rapidly expanding due to immigration from the British Commonwealth. This remit has since expanded to embrace a broader notion of Britain's immigration-led cultural diversity. Company no. 3409935, charity no. 1063609.
