Steering Committee
Our Steering Committee consists of an elected body of 11 representatives of non-governmental organisations from across the UK.  The Committee meets three times a year and helps to guide the strategic direction of UKREN's work, and advise and support the Secretariat on the basis of their particular area of expertise.

ENAR
The European Network Against Racism (ENAR), the voice of the anti-racist movement in Europe, is a network of European NGOs working to combat racism in Europe and represents more than 700 NGOs throughout the EU. ENAR has National Coordinations in all EU countries, and UKREN acts as the UK branch of ENAR. UKREN's close relationship to ENAR means that we are able to relay information from ENAR to a UK audience as well as channeling the views of our UK members back to ENAR.

The two UK representatives on the board of ENAR are Sarah Isal and Wilf Sullivan. Sarah Isal is also the Treasurer of ENAR.
