Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

About

Launched in June 2020, PyroTalks CIC is a new not-for-profit Community Interest Company that seeks to make specialist knowledge more accessible. As a CIC we want to reflect the community we seek to represent and support.

We welcome the Institute of Fundraising’s ‘Manifesto for Change’ and share the same vision, as quoted:

“We want an equal, diverse and inclusive profession where everyone is the right fit.

Our long term vision is for an equal, diverse and inclusive profession, where no matter what your personal characteristics, including gender identity, ethnicity, faith, age, class, sexuality, age or disability, or any and all intersectionalities of those characteristics, you will be “the right fit” for the fundraising profession.”­

What are we doing?

  • We are always actively working to expand our networks

  • We have Advisors that guide us on EDI in our programme

  • We connect with other relevant committees to help shape content

  • We connect with a range of speakers for every event

Pease reach out to discuss our strategy or any events and suggestions you may have.
