    Close the Gap have shared a guest blog from Aneela McKenna and Dr Karla Perez Portilla, who worked to develop Close the Gap’s anti-racist practice strategy. Their insights and challenge have been central to shaping this work, and to pushing Close the Gap to think more deeply about what meaningful, sustained organisational change requires.

    Over the past year, they worked closely with Aneela and Karla to examine their policies and practice through an anti-racist lens. This included an external audit, all-staff training, and a series of workshops that created space for reflection, discomfort, and learning. Together, this process helped them move from commitment to action, and informed the development of their strategy. In the blog, they reflect on what an intersectional and anti-racist approach demands in practice, drawing on their experience of working with Close the Gap and across the wider third sector.
