Running out on race

The Devon Race Equality Council (DREC) may be on its last legs, bids to the Big Lottery and Commission for Equality and Human Rights have failed, leaving the organisation without essential funding.
In the short term, Devon County Council has stepped in with an emergency rescue package which will keep the race equality council going for three months.
DREC chairman Peter Boeuf told the PRSD: “Without Devon County Council’s support the future for DREC would have been bleak indeed. The limited funding made available together with the professional help promised by the Council gives us a lifeline and will enable us to make realistic plans for the future.
“It is important to note however that unless other organisations especially in Devon and Exeter rise to the challenge of matching the generosity of the county council the comprehensive range of services currently provided for and frankly urgently required on a day to day basis by our clients may have to be reduced even further.”
