Home About Services Contact News Jobs Support us Projects Bringing ideas, imagination, information and knowledge to people’s lives and communities Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Libraries Unlimited wants to challenge itself, from within its staff and communities, to consciously and persistently challenge how things have always been done and aim to ensure that we can be proud and confident when we say we are “open to all”. When we talk about diversity and inclusion we want that to be across all protected characteristics. We want to be working towards improved equality for all. Libraries Unlimited’s Board of Trustees has stated “We commit to taking positive action and building a culture that champions equality, diversity and inclusion throughout the organisation. As an organisation, we are continually learning and benefitting from external expertise. We are working to make equality, diversity and inclusion a central part of Libraries Unlimited, embedded in our cultures and behaviours”. As part of our work to improve we will share on this page some of our progress, as well as our legal obligations in relation to reporting.

This focus has seen us recently awarded a ’strong’ rating for their Creative Case for Diversity work from Arts Council England (the second highest rating possible) and our diverse programming has seen film festivals with content from organisations such as Oska Bright and Peccadillo Shorts, inclusive playable installations, created in collaboration with WESC Foundation, Centre for Visual Impairment, CEDA Exeter and No Limits and newly commissions artworks and residencies, championing and supporting marginalized voices. Now, as we move into 2022, our ongoing commitment sees aspirations to ensure 33% of our programme is culturally diverse (“relevant to the lives of diverse 21st century audiences” – ACE); newly commissioned work is developed in partnership with marginalized groups and those who identify as Disabled and or/ D/deaf and a commitment to ensure the accessibility of all future events.
