Wear Red Day is a national day of action which encourages schools, businesses and individuals to wear red and donate to help facilitate the delivery of anti-racism education for young people.
Following his visit, Daniel Zeichner MP said he was delighted to see the support of students at CRC’s Cambridge Campus, which proved they really cared about the issue. He commented “Fighting racism is an important issue for our communities and it is something that we must continue to be vigilant about. This city has a long tradition of being opening, welcoming and inclusive and I am sure that future generations will keep it that way.”

These students prove we can look forward to a bright future in a tolerant and open country and hopefully kick racism out of society for good.”
Trudie McGuiness, Assistant Principal, from Cambridge Regional College said “We were delighted to host these dignitaries at our Cambridge and Huntingdon campuses. It was a great opportunity to show how aware our students are about racism issues and the solutions required to eliminate it. By wearing something red and contributing towards funding to educate people, we can all support this very important topic.”
