The Black Equity Organisation promotes economic, legal, social, and political equity for Black communities in Britain, advocating for equal opportunity and dismantling systemic racism.
They amplify Black voices, talent, and enterprise while tackling injustice through economic empowerment, education and health.
Young Black women (18–30) face intersecting barriers—racism, sexism, and ageism—making them vulnerable to financial shocks. Black African households hold only 13p for every £1 of White British wealth (ONS, 2023), and generic financial education lacks cultural relevance and trust.
With the Foundation’s support, “My Credit. My Power.” will co-design tailored financial tools and peer-led networks in four UK cities, delivering resources on credit, income management, and avoiding predatory lending. The initiative aims to reach 250–350 participants, build confidence, reduce financial stress, and shape thinking and practice.
