Black Training and Enterprise Group provides a voice for over 600 black and minority ethnic organisations from across England. Many BME groups are small and under resourced so find it difficult to get their voice heard at national level. BTEG uses its position to represent the views of BME organisations and to influence government policy.
BTEG also provides practical support to voluntary organisations in the BME sector by running capacity building workshops and one to one support. These sessions help to strengthen organisations and help them to be more effective when bidding for funding.
Jeremy Crook OBE, Director of Black Training and Enterprise Group “The grant has helped BTEG significantly by supporting our core costs. We can now devote more time to developing the group’s products and services and this aids our sustainability”.
