The National Coalition of Black-Led Organisations (NCbLO) was conceived in 2003. Its purpose is to be an effective umbrella organisation, working at the strategic level to deliver the social, economic and political participation of the Black communities of the United Kingdom, commensurate with the contribution those communities make to the national prosperity of our country.

NCbLO exists to raise awareness of race equality issues and seeks, through its activities, to develop and support measures that improve the life experiences of the Black communities we represent and enhance the social cohesion of the United Kingdom by promoting positive race relations.

The NCbLO is committed to constructive engagement, seeking to work as a critical friend of the public and private sectors and other agencies
