The Cities in Transition project fits into Barrow Cadbury’s broader work around Race and Poverty. The Race and Poverty work focuses on tackling the disproportionate disadvantage that affects Black and Minority Ethnic communities in the UK. Our work has been heavily influenced by an initiative that the Barrow Cadbury Trust conducted in conjunction with the Guardian. This partnership culminated in the production of Islam, Race and Being British, which explored critical debates around cohesion and identity in the UK.

The Race and Poverty work focuses on two key themes. Firstly, we aim to improve ‘bread and butter’ issues of material deprivation and discrimination associated with inequality. Secondly, we aim to build ‘habits of solidarity’ between Britain’s diverse communities – to help foster common bonds between people, regardless of background, ethnicity, culture or religion.
Through the Cities in Transition project we aim to provide further evidence of international good practice in this field.
Our Asylum and Migration work aims to promote a comprehensive and practical approach to asylum-seekers, refugees and migrants. This objective is achieved by enabling grassroots groups to work with national groups around specific campaigns, as well as facilitating the promotion of migrant voices at local, national and European levels. We have been working at building a progressive approach to migration, which began with a series of seminars on Perspectives on Migration, organised by the Trust and the Smith Institute.
