GMB's race ambassadors pledge to work ‘member by member, branch by branch’ to make union reflect its members' diversity

GMB members heard from the union’s new race ambassadors on Tuesday evening as they presented the achievements of the GMB Race Achievement Scholarship Programme (Grasp).
The union’s first national race organiser Tyhimba Nosakhere explained that while the first 10 ambassadors, had been the 10 best applicants, the next five would be chosen to ensure every region participates.
Activists from racially marginalised and under-represented backgrounds are trained for the roles through a six-month full-time release programme.
