Rotherham Ethnic Minority Alliance

Embracing Equality, Celebrating Diversity

REMA is the infrastructure and development organisation for Rotherham's Black and minority ethnic voluntary, community and faith sector. We support over 50 local groups, and we offer direct advice and settlement support to individuals and families from BME, refugee and asylum seeking communities.

Who we are

An Independent Voice for Rotherham's BME Communities

REMA has worked in Rotherham since 2003 and has been a registered charity since 2011. Our membership includes over 50 local voluntary, community and faith groups, ranging from well established organisations to small, informal ones.

We believe diversity is a strength, and we work so that active communities across Rotherham can embrace equality and enjoy the borough's diversity.
