Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion

We require those we fund to embed EDI in all aspects of their activity. Learn more about the Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion Funding Criteria.

We require those we fund to embed EDI in all aspects of their activity. This includes:

  • a commitment to tackling inequalities for people who experience exclusion or are marginalised
  • helping to a support a more diverse workforce, (including those who govern and lead); and
  • considering how to incorporate EDI in artistic and creative programming, where appropriate.

We expect all funded activity to be undertaken with due regard to access, including taking practical steps to ensure activities, spaces, processes and events – in person and online – are inclusive and accessible for the widest range of people possible. Throughout the below document we’ll outline any specific actions we expect those we fund to consider.
