Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)  

We are committed to creating a culture where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered to achieve their full potential. Read our Annual Report for 2023/24.

Inclusion is an ongoing process that requires constant learning, reflection and action, and therefore this is our first annual report on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) – it is our intention to publish this in the spring each year.

This report is about transparency and accountability.  It highlights the initiatives and actions we have taken as well as where we have faced challenges or not made the progress we hoped. We always welcome feedback and collaboration from internal and external stakeholders and partners to help us learn and grow as an equitable, diverse and inclusive organisation.

The principles of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion underpin and weave through our current five year strategy as an important focus of our work. However, in the wake of the murder of George Floyd in 2020, we committed to taking a deeper look at how racism and other forms of oppression might be apparent in Become and to develop a more intentional approach to this work.

Over the past few years we have undertaken a range of work on EDI but this was sometimes siloed in individual departments rather than a clear cross-organisational approach. What’s more, whilst we reported and discussed our progress internally with our staff team and trustees until now we lacked transparency and accountability externally.

Moving into 2023/24, we committed to greater transparency and to a clearer plan with clear, measurable targets – this report is one way in which we hope to be held to account by ourselves and others.

We are relentless in creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels they are valued and belong, and in breaking down barriers that stand in the way of equity, diversity and inclusion. 

We have prepared this, our first Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Annual Report, in order to take stock and review where we are as an organisation. We should be proud of the progress we have made, but we also need to recognise that there is much more to be done, and we must be relentless in our pursuit of a fairer society for all.
