Over the past year, we’ve noticed a powerful shift in how people are engaging with conversations about anti-racism and oppression. In our workshops, we’re seeing deeper questions, sharper insights, and a growing appetite for systemic change.

Now, two years on, the evaluation is in and its verdict is known: “Wellcome is still an institutionally racist organisation”.
