Black Voices Cornwall was founded in 2020 by a group of optimistic professionals who decided to be the change they wanted to see in their hometowns. Moved by local outcry around Black Lives Matter, they decided to take action to improve lives of local people experiencing isolation, prejudice or discrimination because of their ethnicity.
Today, the organisation delivers positive, fair and meaningful solutions in rural communities, empowering local authorities and organisations to be more inclusive, celebrating diverse cultures, building communities and driving equality for one and all.
Founded and led by ethnically diverse professionals, the organisation’s team brings a wealth of authentic knowledge and professional expertise to the table. They have delivered anti-racism training to hundreds of educators, professionals and individuals, reaching thousands in our communities through digital and in-person events every month.
Their mission is to provide practical and lasting support for the Duchy to be anti-racist; unlocking Cornwall's full potential as leaders in social change and innovation and fulfilling the promise of Onen Hag Oll.
