Our History
Board Racial Diversity UK was formally registered as a charity in November 2024. It is the successor organisation to Action for Trustee Racial Diversity (ATRD) founded in 2019 by Malcolm John.
Our Mission
Our aim, as with ATRD, is to achieve the proportionate representation of individuals from Black and Asian backgrounds on not for profit boards (and not only charity boards as ATRD) by helping to recruit an additional 60,000 Black and Asian trustees.
