About Us
TREC is a rights-based organisation with a community-focused approach dedicated to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion, while supporting individuals and organisations across Leicester and Leicestershire to create positive social change.
Our Mission: Race Equality
The Race Equality Centre in Leicester & Leicestershire has been in existence in the city since 1967. In all that time, it has been known by various names which have described its work, such as the Leicester Council for Community Relations, Leicester Council for Racial Justice, Leicester & Leicestershire Race Equality Council and now The Race Equality Centre.
Initially it was funded by the Race Relations Board established through the Race Relations Act of 1965. It was later funded by the Commission for Racial Equality (established through the Race Relations Act 1976) and the two local authorities initially, Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council. We are now funded solely through funding bodies and income generation.
The membership organisation became a company limited by guarantee in 1995 and then a registered charity in 1996. Since 2006 the organisation has operated under the name of The Race Equality Centre (TREC).
