DIVERSITY EQUITY & INCLUSION
Creating a safe space for dialogue and sparking change
Our experiences working with disadvantaged groups and of being a diverse organisation have given us great insight into the social change that is needed to give real possibilities to marginalised groups and to acknowledge and address the issues that result from inequality, lack of opportunity and discrimination.
Our Reach programme, which underpins our work in the ED&I space was catalysed by the Grenfell community and the need to give our community a voice and to communicate their agenda and imperatives more widely. We work to bring together members of our community with organisations/ individuals in positions of power to influence change.
Brilliant facilitation – follow up questions, and even digitally, an environment where discussion felt open and focused in what we can do on a practical level to become anti-racist as an organisation. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Let’s Talk About Race
In light of the death of George Floyd & the large-scale global protests of the global Black Lives Matter movement has sparked a real desire in people and organisations to accomplish real change, to be a part of the solution and move towards being actively anti-Racist

I was grateful for the safe space that was created, which enabled people to be honest about what they do/don't know and where they are on their journey. I hadn't realised how naive some white people are in 2020 to the everyday experience of being a person of colour in the UK.

What a wonderfully diverse group we were to learn and sit alongside each other using your great idea of music to share our stories. This was a big hit! and a lovely way to deep dive quickly into those personal elements and emotions we all have in common.Leaders Quest

“Really striking to see how well people can get to know each other within a very short time frame! Very useful suggestions were exchanged, in a “safe” and also fun process. Also a great way to explore the many things that we all have in common, and hear you speak about things that bind us together.” Leaders Quest
