A Race Equality Hub designed to support diverse businesses and to make Liverpool City Region's workforce more diverse has secured £2.3m in funding.
Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram and the region's combined authority have approved the funding for the second phase of the project, which will focus on employment support and business assistance for people from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds.
The hub is part of the authority's overall Race Equality Programme which aims to "tackle systemic racial injustice and inequality in the City Region". It estimates addressing race inequalities could add some £300m to the Liverpool City Region economy annually.
