The Race Equality Engagement Group (REEG) held its first meeting in June 2025.

On 25 September 2025 the REEG held its first thematic roundtable covering tackling the barriers to accessing finance and investment for ethnic minority entrepreneurs, and the Police Race Action Plan.

On 9 December 2025 the REEG held its second thematic roundtable and community engagement session, focusing on racial inequalities in maternal and neonatal health and cardiovascular disease.

The Group has met with stakeholders with lived experience, and from key government departments, civil society, community groups and institutions.
