Dove House receives Anti-Racism Charter from Museum of Free Derry

Dove House Community Trust has proudly received an Anti-Racism Charter from the Museum of Free Derry, reaffirming its commitment to building an inclusive and welcoming space for everyone in the community.

The charter, which will be displayed prominently within Dove House, reads: “In this place we oppose all harm and actions on the basis of difference of race and colour, we live together, we love together, we struggle together, we thrive together, we hold ourselves and others to account for racist words and actions, we commit to policies and practices that oppose division by race and colour, we promote these attitudes throughout our region of the north west of Ireland, we say no to racism.”

By displaying the charter, Dove House joins a growing network of local organisations and community groups pledging to stand united against racism and prejudice in all its forms.

Jayne Quigg, Manager of Dove House Community Trust, said: “We are honoured to display this charter within Dove House as a clear statement of our values.

"Our work has always been rooted in equality, inclusion, and respect for everyone who walks through our doors. This is about more than a statement on the wall; it’s a living commitment to ensuring Dove House remains a safe and welcoming space for all.”
