Kids of Colour is a project for young people of colour aged 24 and under to explore 'race', identity and culture. We create spaces to challenge the racism that affects young people and their communities; building collective resistance and solidarity.

- Center joy and celebration of our identities, cultures and histories
- Create opportunities for young people and our communities to connect, build relationships of friendship and peer support
- Support and encourage solidarity across our communities’ identity intersections
- Ensure young people and families feel that they are being fought for through our campaigning and advocacy
- Challenge racism within our communities and society; including the education sector, youth sector and policing
- Hold a belief in building a movement of collective anti-racist resistance. Our work is reflective and hopeful. It is grounded in care, a drive for change and a belief in and love for young people.

I’ve been following the tragic miscarriage of justice surrounding the Manchester 10. Can this money be used for book tokens for the boys and to pass on the message that so many of us care for them, they are not forgotten and we will fight for their release.

Mary Gibbs | £104.36
I am so outraged by the injustice of the Manchester 10 trial, and the obvious systemic racism involved. Please can this be used for books that these young men may want?

Professor Farida Vis is sadly leaving MMU. She was an active co-chair of the Race Staff Forum since summer 2020 and led the initiative to set up a research centre focused on the study of race and racism. As a farewell gesture, Farida has kindly requested that the funds raised as part of her leaving collection be donated to Kids of Colour.
