Help us understand our community

If you’d like to share more about your identity (to help us understand who we are working with), you can choose to fill in our separate, optional Equalities Monitoring Form. This is anonymous and not linked to your membership.

By filling this separate form in, it will help us to understand which communities we are and aren’t connecting with. It will also help us to tell funders why our work is important and to hopefully access future funding.
