Our Reports

Common Call has connected with hundreds of Black-led charities and social enterprises across the UK that deliver transformative services in their communities. 

Prior to our existence, funding to organisations in the sector was commonly restricted to large, well-resourced, mainstream organisations. The Common Call fund stands as a bold new fund, representing a significant change in direction.

Our reports aim to bring the stories and issues of Black-led charities and social enterprises to light, enabling tangible change in British civil society. We hope that you are both informed and inspired to push for the change that our society needs by reading these reports.
