We believe that our national focus should not just be economic growth but also a long-term mission to rebuild our society from its foundations up. We start from the principle that every person in the UK is of equal value and must therefore have equal power, voice and opportunity and the same rights and responsibilities.
Given the inequalities that exist in our society, we believe that proactive effort is needed to ensure no one is held back by poverty, prejudice, geography or lack of opportunity or representation. We believe that bigotry which judges us by factors beyond our control has no place in our society and must be challenged. With this in mind, we offer advice, support and other services for people and projects seeking to:
1. Break down barriers to opportunity in all communities and ensure that every person in the UK has the same chance to get on and thrive.
2. Provide training, mentoring and support for women and people from working class, migrant and minority communities to ensure their voices are heard, their power is effectively harnessed and they can access leadership positions locally or nationally.
3. Challenge all forms of prejudice and provide opportunities for those who have held prejudiced or ignorant attitudes in the past to reflect, learn, take restorative steps and make a positive contribution in the future.
4. Provide opportunity for people in all nations and communities to express their own culture and identity while also promoting a positive, shared British identity and upholding the shared values which we need to unite us.
5. Educate young people, new migrants and the wider public about British history, citizenship, culture and values, and enable access to free English language classes for those who need them.
We prefer to work with existing projects but where there are gaps to be filled, we develop our own projects and undertake our own original research.
