Leading homelessness charity St Mungo’s is once again a Stonewall Top 100 Employer, named as one of the most inclusive employers in the UK.
This year St Mungo’s has been awarded the prestigious Gold Award again for its commitment to inclusivity and have ranked 42nd overall in the UK – 3rd in the charity sector, and 2nd in housing.
The Gold Award celebrates organisations that go above and beyond to empower LGBTQIA+ staff members to be themselves at work.
Kevin Maxwell, Head of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion said:
“It is amazing that we have ranked so well, amongst the top 50 employers in the UK, and received an additional Gold Award.
We know how vitally important this is: according to Stonewall, more than a third (35 per cent) of LGBTQIA+ staff have hidden who they are at work for fear of discrimination, and many people feel that they have limited options when applying for jobs – or that the work culture isn’t right for them when they do start a new role.
We are genuinely proud to be recognised for our collective dedication to creating safe and inclusive spaces for our LGBTQIA+ people and will continue to do all we can to ensure everyone at St Mungo’s can be their true self and thrive.”
