Welcome to MCCR

MCCR is Manchester's Equalities Hub, and we work towards the elimination of racial discrimination and the promotion of racial equality, equal opportunities, diversity and community cohesion in the City of Manchester and parts of Greater Manchester County.

We have recently updated our website to make it more helpful in accessing information and resources about equality and diversity issues. In particular, the EHRC links provide access to wide range of information on your rights, legislation, policy and advice for ‘equality professionals’, plus recent publications.

Our Research links provide access both to in-house research and external publications from public authorities and specialist research bodies. We also provide information to support the development of BME Voluntary and Community Sector. Finally, under 'About Us' we provide information about both MCCR and Manchester BME Network and their activities. We hope that you find our site helpful.
