Dorset Race Equality Council

Dorset Race Equality Council (Dorset REC) is an independent body, funded by grants, donations and voluntary contributions whose focus is on race and ethnicity. We have been operating since the 1990s, originally as a Race Equality Network and since 2004 as a charity and a company limited by guarantee. We rely on local support from community members and local partners including the Local Authorities, Dorset NHS and Dorset Police. Our vision is one of strong, safe and sustainable communities in Dorset in which diversity and fairness are valued and people of all races, ethnicities and religions have equal opportunities and live free from discrimination and prejudice.
