Another option might be to make a purchase or two from one/some of the many black owned businesses. There were some good lists published for black pound day.
My partner and I shop as infrequently as possible so had quite a list of stuff we needed built up. It wasn't hard to find a lot of the things we wanted through black owned retailers and my understanding is it's a good way to give direct support.

This, I thought, was a very nice gesture. Would rep.
For the man who has everything (bike) related :)

@Brommers
It's my birthday coming up shortly, and I thought that I'd ask friends and family to make a contribution towards charities working to promote racial equality rather than getting me more stuff I don't need. I've done some research, and I know there's CORE (the Coalition of Race Equality Organisations) and Equally Ours (formerly the Equality and Diversity Forum), but if anyone has any suggestions for charities I can suggest to my nearest and dearest then fire away. It's only a tiny gesture I know, but I'm aware that the most effective charities are often the smaller charities, which in this area I'm unlikely to be aware of, so ideas welcome.
