Recession

In late 2008, MiNet started to document the early pressures on BAME organisations as a result of the recession. From this MiNet produced a joint report with Race on the Agenda which highlighted the specific and disproportionate impact on London's BAMER Third Sector. Since then, MiNet have been working to raise awareness of the pressures faced by BAME organisations and communities as a result of the economic downturn. This has included:

  • Joint report with ROTA, highlighting the specific and disproportionate impact on London's BAMER Third Sector.
