TESTIMONIALS

“I really enjoyed the cooking workshops, actually I loved being a part of a team and learning how to cook my home
food.” – REYC Member

“It feels like I have a place to go to and feel
safe. I can experience things that I know
others can relate to with me and I can bounce off other young people who have had issues with racism just like I have.” - REYC Member

“I feel like my experience at carnival
was needed. It opened up a door I
have been locked out of, I feel like I
expressed emotions today and it was
validated.” – REYC MEMBER

“In this group I can say my problems and I can find solutions immediately. I have more power now and I feel more confident because of this group. Without the group I would only be here once a month”. - REYC Member

CHRIS KABA PROTEST

Chris Kaba was a Black man who was shot by the police
in September this year.

Our service works closely with those who have been
affected negatively by the police and have campaigned
for institutions such as the police to do better at keeping
everyone safe.

Chris could have accessed our service, so we got
together and ensured his story was taken to the streets of
Hull in support of his family.

Going Forward!

The Racial Equality Youth Collective will continue in the fight against racism.

In 2023 we plan to visit carnival again and continue to collaborate with Love Music Hate
Racism as well as other cultural celebrations through out the year

Police Youth Charter – working with Humberside Police in ensuring safety and justice for
those disproportionately penalised by the police and criminal justice system.

Suicide prevention – working with Highways England to incorporate prevention strategies in
the whole process of bridge installation and design. This is an issue that affects all, but again
people of colour, especially men are struggling even more so.

Plugging the gaps in education and bringing representation and youth voice where it matters.
