An ally is any person that actively promotes a culture of inclusion through intentional, positive, and conscious efforts which benefit the whole community. Allyship is a helpful concept because every single member of the team can act as an ally.

Inclusivity is not only a moral cause, but a legal one — such discrimination is illegal under the Equality Act 2010.
