Challenging the injustice of undercover policing
The Monitoring Group, along with several other anti-racism organisations, was subject to undercover police operations over the past two decades.
We are participants in the Undercover Policing Inquiry and are working with others affected, seeking full accountability and assessing its impact on our work.
-
Research and publications
We publish articles shedding light on the pressing issues confronting Black, Asian, and other ethnic communities. A cornerstone of our publication ethos lies in amplifying the voices of grassroots community groups, individuals with lived experiences.
If you are interested in contributing an article, we warmly invite you to contact us.
-
Family Campaigns
The roots of our group stem from the lived experiences of Black and Asian youth navigating Britain during the tumultuous 1970s. It was a time marked by the pervasive spectre of racial violence, abuse, and frequent encounters with racism, often at the hands of law enforcement officers.
Over four decades, our group has been deeply entrenched in addressing these systemic injustices through campaigning work.

Independent Commission of Inquiry into the Violence in Leicester, August-September 2022
During August-September 2022, serious violence between South Asians from Hindu and Muslim backgrounds shocked the city of Leicester, East Midlands, a city often viewed as a model for community harmony and conviviality. The violence threatened to spread to other major cities in Britain, and it also had international repercussions.
TMG is working with the Independent Commission of Inquiry to provide community support to investigate the reasons for the violence and community disharmony in Leicester in 2022.

Lockdown and the rise race hate crimes
As Britain went into lockdown fears about health infection rates and the catastrophic impact on the economy set in, but something else was taking hold. We've been speaking to the anti-racism charity, The Monitoring Group, and they've noticed an alarming trend: a rise in racist hate crime.
What People Say About Us
“‘I’m still traumatised by it and can’t talk about it. When the police turned up, I thought cool but then when I saw them do nothing I just had to say, ‘why aren’t you not doing anything is it because they are white’
“‘I’m not sure what I would be doing if the TMG hadn’t helped me, I was at my lowest point when I came here and would be dead by now” .”
“‘When you get to a point like I did .. you struggle to light at the end of the tunnel … TMG helped me understand how injustice works, and how to fight my case… it was empowering’”
