University of Chichester has a history of teacher training and now offers a full range of degrees. They have a long-standing commitment to equal opportunities, and provide a base for Professor Chris Gaine, BRITKID's author. He has focused on young people's racial attitudes for over 25 years, writing books and training materials and giving talks and training all over the UK and Europe. With Comic Relief, Chris Gaine developed the Britkid concept and was the recipient of the EU funding that provided some initial financial support to the site. He can be contacted at c.gaine@chi.ac.uk

Comic Relief is famous for Red Nose Day, the mega-fundraising event that sweeps the UK every two years. They also make grants to projects in the UK and Africa supporting disadvantaged people. As part of its education programme, Comic Relief has co-ordinated and publicised BRITKID, and provided financial support to the site.

1997 was designated European Year Against Racism by the member states of the European Union. Countries across Europe worked together on combating racism, promoting good practice, communicating the message of tolerance, respect and understanding, and highlighting the benefits of a diverse society. BRITKID received funding from the European Union as part of its activities for the European Year Against Racism.

ChildLine is the free national helpline for children in trouble or danger. On monitoring calls made to them during 1995, they identified racism and bullying as a concern for a significant amount of callers, and in response published a study outlining the key issues facing these young people. They remain committed to addressing racism in their activities, and were an associate partner for BRITKID, helping to edit the site's content from the perspective of young people's experience, and involving schools from their CHIPS (ChildLine in Partnership with Schools) programme in piloting the original site in 1998.

The Runnymede Trust is a registered charity which addresses itself specifically to the development of a multi-ethnic society, especially by offering advice to policy bodies. They are also involved in initiatives to equality for minority ethnic youth in education. They see BRITKID as a way to directly engage young people in fighting racial discrimination, and have provided feedback on the site's content. They also provided funding and support for the new additions to the site in the 2006 edition, reflecting new patterns of immigration and diversity since the original material was written.
