Equality

Welcome to the equalities and diversity workstream

Our vision is a world in which people who experience discrimination and abuse are empowered to develop their own solutions to address inequality and where equalities organisations run by and for marginalised people are valued and held in high esteem. Our programme will help generalist and equalities support providers to value and respect each other’s work and collaborate, on an equal basis, to support diverse frontline organisations.

Our aims

  • To improve support to frontline equalities organisations run by and for people who experience discrimination and abuse, by supporting equality networks and increasing collaboration between equalities and generalist support providers.
  • To improve support providers’ abilities to support all frontline organisations on equality, diversity and human rights issues.

What problems do we want to solve?

We are working to address the marginalisation within the third sector of organisations run by and for people who experience discrimination and abuse. By working closely with people who have direct experience of the issues, all organisations will be able to address equality and diversity and improve their services and impact. There is excellent work on equality in the sector, but it can be patchy and disparate. We will help support providers and their networks to work together so that expertise is shared and long-term partnerships are formed.
