Dozens of UK educational institutions and charities have endorsed mock slave auctions for “depraved” entertainment and fundraising purposes, HuffPost UK can reveal.

As the national call for imperialist statues to fall intensifies, participants within organisations have been re-enacting a brutal element of slavery that saw buyers inspect and purchase people with the intention of keeping them in bondage to do their bidding.

Charities including Comic Relief, Marie Curie and an NHS non-profit group have all been embroiled in this scandal, as well as a number of rural grammar schools.

A newly formed campaign No Slave Auctions has compiled a list of organisations, seen by HuffPost UK, which have both staged and encouraged these events.

A spokesperson said these auctions are further proof of how entrenched racism is in the UK.

“The more we started looking into this, the more we realised that this is an ongoing thing that’s happening,” they said.

“As we started to do a bit of research, we were really quite shocked at how prevalent these events are and how many national charities are endorsing this or actively encouraging it.

“As part of the wider debate that’s going on about racism in the UK and the embedded culture of racism that is in every part of our society, we wanted to highlight this. A lot of people ask: ‘Where is the racism in our society?’ and I think this is a prime example.”
