Campaigners are warning that victims of race hate crimes in Devon will suffer from funding cuts to race equality councils.
There were more than two thousand six hundred reports of racially-motivated crimes in the South West in 2012.
But local authorities - dealing with restricted budgets - are withdrawing funding to the RECs, and nationally the Government is cutting its budget for the Equality and Human Rights Commission by 70 per cent.
The campaign group Equality South West are to carry out a survey of individuals and organisations involved in promoting racial equality this summer, to build a case they can take to policy-makers.
