Email usEquality, diversity, inclusion and belonging
Led by our Co-Chair Woosh Raza, who identifies as both a person of colour and a member of the LGBT+ community, we are passionate about making a positive difference to foster a sense of inclusion and belonging for all.
Health and wellbeing
Led by branch committee member Charlotte Brownlee, we want to make sure we are looking after our members, many of whom have a responsibility for wellbeing within their organisations. As a profession and certainly after the pandemic, we need to make sure we aren’t pouring from an empty cup. Our wellbeing events are focused on both our organisation and ourselves, as people professionals.
