Black United Representation Network

The Black United Representation Network is a membership organisation which exists to tackle persistent racial inequalities, which negatively impact on people in the Black community from Greater Manchester, to bring around systemic change. Our mission is to achieve Black economic empowerment, advancement and collective self-reliance to level the playing field. There is an acute shortage of Black people in senior leadership positions that can influence policy and decision making. The decades long lack of strong and coordinated Black leadership has resulted in persistent racial inequalities in business, employment, education and health. BURN was created to fill this gap through: REPRESENTATION: Building the pipeline of senior Black leaders. PROCUREMENT: Developing the pipeline of contract ready Black VCSEs and businesses through capacity building and supply chain inclusion.
