March 2022: Smallwood Trust EDI Journey... so far
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is a core component of Smallwood's Governance Action Plan. Our work as an organisation on EDI is about ensuring we have a culture (which includes Board members, staff, consultants and any volunteers) that encourages people of all backgrounds and experience to feel a key part of what we do and our mission.
An update on our EDI milestones, mainly relating to our grant-making, can be downloaded here. An EDI Action Plan will be published later this year. The latest statistics can be found in the Impact Report 2016-2020, below. VIEW REPORT
