Action on equality, diversity and inclusion

Organisations taking part in The RACE Report are asked to detail the action taken internally to support equality, diversity and inclusion. The list of actions covers a breadth of areas and incorporates commonly recommended actions to support progression of equality, diversity and inclusion, but is not intended to be an exhaustive list. Neither is one action intended to be prioritised over another, and actions may not be applicable to all organisations.

Approach to equality, diversity and inclusion

We are committed to social justice, and to tackling injustice and inequality. Racial justice is a critical element in this, in the UK and across the world, and we are committed to addressing structural and systemic racism in the UK both as an organisation and through the work we support. We believe that understanding and making progress towards diversity, equity, and inclusion will be critical for delivering our mission. To do this, we have an action plan, which we regularly review, committing to further actions and sharing an annual update on our progress. We commit to:

• Striving for fair opportunities and outcomes for the people we work with

• Making an effort to understand and respond to people’s context, culture, and characteristics

• Funding more organisations led by and for communities experiencing racial inequity

• Giving more long-term funding and support to organisations already in our portfolio that are working to advance racial justice

• Working with partners to identify, fund, and nurture smaller organisations led by and for communities experiencing racial inequity that are working towards our impact goals

• Using our power as a funder to influence recruitment and governance practice to be more inclusive in sectors (e.g. environment) where the majority of organisations are not ethnically diverse
