People in Harmony (PIH) is a membership organisation dedicated to supporting mixed-race individuals, and interracial families, and couples.

We provide information, support, and advocacy to our members and the wider community through education, celebration, and research.

We are seeking a new Chair at a pivotal moment in the Charity's history. Following a strategic review, we are at the start of a five-year plan focused on building capacity, strengthening governance, and establishing a strong operational structure.
