In this episode, Natasha Broomfield-Reid talks to Anita Jakhu and Kyriacos Spyrou about what it really takes to embed equity, diversity, and inclusion within the charity sector. Together, they explore the very real challenges charities continue to face, including limited resources, gaps in knowledge, and a lack of capacity that can stall progress.
They discuss why leadership buy-in is essential and how inclusive leadership teams and trustee boards can help drive meaningful, long-term change. The conversation also addresses white saviourism and highlights the importance of working with local communities, listening to the right people, and responding to genuine needs rather than assumptions.
