About Us
The UK Race and Europe Network (UKREN) is the only national network engaged in a two-way information exchange on race equality between the UK and Europe.
UKREN was established in 1996 by a group of six leading UK anti-racist organisations to raise awareness of the importance of European Union legislation and policy for UK-based organisations working on race equality and discrimination issues.
Today, UKREN is a UK-wide network of more than 110 predominantly non-governmental organisations interested in combating racism at a local, national or European level.
Since its inception, UKREN has taken a leading role in ensuring that local and national UK organisations are kept informed of the latest European developments in policy, legislation and current affairs in the fields of anti-racism, anti-discrimination, equality, social inclusion, migration, human rights, and religion.
UKREN acts as the official UK coordination of the European Network Against Racism (ENAR), based in Brussels. Since its inception, Runnymede has held the Secretariat of UKREN.
