We have won a bunch of awards for our approach to EDI and social value and are proud celebrate these as an integral part of our people first approach.. 

 

We are committed to not just ticking the ‘social value box ‘ with words and policies but actually doing real things that make a difference to people’s lives. 

 

Within the practice this includes helping people with their personal and mental wellbeing and introducing measures that make a genuine lifestyle difference including flexibility around family and neuro diversity , recognition of women’s health issues , informal forums , regular proactive discussions on career progression, involvement in voluntary events and having a mental health champion on hand.

 

Within the community and with our projects our social value ethos sees us regularly involved with local schools , colleges , youth groups , charities and community organisations. This has included community engagement to actively improve public spaces , and mentoring to help employment into the built environment at all different levels . 

 

We also co organise a women’s network that mentors and partners groups and individuals to promote positive outcomes and values and challenge some of the in built bias that is prevalent across the sector.
