Our campaigns
Refugee Crisis Europe
We are currently living in the world’s worst refugee crisis since World War 2. Greece and Italy are at the front-line of the world’s biggest wave of mass-migration of refugees and we have been campaigning and fundraising to support the humanitarian effort there since 2015.
End the Home Office’s “Go Home” Hate Campaign
Our campaign to scrap the Home Office’s “Go Home” message to refugees, ran in 2013, and contributed to ending the racist go home vans and posters by the UK government to force refugees to return to the persecution that they fled.

In 1996, Positive Action in Housing spoke out about a case that went to court about an Asian couple who claim that they were “black lined” when they tried to buy a house from white sellers.
Raymond Robertson announces £179,600 ethnic minority grants

Policies to tackle racial harassment on Scotland's housing estates are expected to be drawn up by the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities following fears that racial attacks are being ignored.

Cool reaction to £8m ethnic housing boost
In our first year as a registered charity, we successfully lobbied Scottish Homes to recognise the needs of ethnic minority tenants. As a result of this pressure, the agency set up a PATH training scheme to help 12 ethnic minority trainees pursue a career in housing, appointed their first race equality officer, and committed £8 million to ethnic minority housing.
