Welcome to BTEG

Thank you for visiting our site.


The last decade has seen unprecedented growth for the UK economy. But many people are still not sharing in this success and making a positive contribution to the economy and their communities because they are not in work. Our country's economic competitiveness is hindered when we fail to ensure that all citizens have a good education and fair employment opportunities.

There are many reasons why people lack decent education, skills and jobs. In spite of anti-discrimination laws many black and minority ethnic people are denied fair opportunities.

It is vital that individual citizens do everything possible to make the transition from benefits or inactivity into independent living, and that the state does everything possible to support this. We believe that enterprising communities are successful communities. The third sector is well placed to work with others sectors to foster this ethos in areas where communities need inspiration, better leadership and better use of resources. All too often the policy intent is right but the implementation is inadequate.

BTEG want to see all ethnic groups achieving similar success in the education system and the labour market. Together we can make a difference by challenging poor and unfair policy and practice wherever we find it. Whatever your background you are welcome to work with us to find the right policy and delivery solutions.

This site will give you a sample of our work. Please contact us if you would like more information about BTEG.
