Include more people, achieve more good

Audits, training, and bespoke DEI services for small charities, CICs, and businesses where social good is a core aim.

Nail down your organisation's next steps to benefit your staff and the communities you serve.

I don’t need to present the business case to you. You’ve already been having “we really need to be doing more around DEI” conversations in management meetings, haven’t you? 

You aren’t looking to take performative, tick-box actions that don’t change anything beyond the surface. It’s meaningful change, or you don’t want it, thank you very much.

And that’s the bit where you do a great impression of a deer caught in headlights:

Where do we even start? How do we engage with that community? What if we get it wrong? Will it seem performative? What if there’s backlash?

Add to that, you’re stretched. You’ve got a bold vision, but limited resources. So you get on with the things you know (the day-to-day stuff that always seems urgent) and DEI fades into the background 

… Until it next comes up in a management meeting where you sit around the table nodding “yes, we really DO need to be doing more around DEI” 

aaaaand repeat. 

Or do you? Because you don't have to stay stuck in that cycle of good intentions

Start by doing what you can with what you have now (it’s more impactful than you think)

I offer audits, training, and bespoke EDI services to help your organisation identify simple, tangible, and genuinely easy-to-implement actions that will make you better for everyone – from your team to the communities you serve.

Ready for a quick, no-strings-attached step forward?

Book a free 60-minute EDI Jumpstart session for your team. You'll get a quick refresh on core EDI principles, assess your current efforts, and pinpoint the very next steps you can take to make a bigger difference – all in less time than it takes to reply to all those Monday morning emails!

Want to dive deeper? Here's how you can work with me:

Tailored EDI Roadmap

Stop winging it and get your expert-designed roadmap to inclusion. This audit is your faster, easier tailored plan that clarifies exactly what to do, and in what order, to transform your workplace and achieve better outcomes for everyone you serve.

It's the foundation for lasting change, setting your organisation up for genuine, sustained impact.

This is for you if:

  • You have the will but not the way – everyone's on board, but you need a clear grasp of exactly what to do, and in what order.

  • Your current EDI activities aren't getting results, and you need to identify the right approach. You'll finally feel confident you're doing it right.

Training and workshops

"EDI training doesn't work!" they say. And you know what? They're partly right. It needs to be part of a wider commitment, a conversation starter, and – crucially – it needs to promote action. If you're not up for the action bit after, honestly, use the money for a team social.

Unlike generic, 'tick-box' sessions, I'll design a custom menu just for you, focusing on practical application.

Here's a taster of what we could do:

  • EDI Foundations: Getting everyone on the same page about what it actually means for your organisation and how it applies to their role.

  • Building Inclusive Services: Learn a simple framework to identify and minimise obstacles for marginalised groups, even working through a current project as a live example.

  • Inclusive Language: Speak with confidence and connection.

  • Cultivating a 'Speak Up' Culture: Build an environment where everyone feels more able to voice concerns and contribute to EDI.

  • Inclusive Recruitment: Attract & Retain Diverse Talent. Rethink your hiring processes to genuinely welcome and retain a wider range of candidates.

…and much more, designed around your specific needs.

Don't worry, I don't talk 'at' you the whole time (that would be painful for you and for me). We'll make space for the team to reflect and discuss what it all means for your organisation and their individual roles. I can also create a short pre-training questionnaire to send to your team, so I can pitch the session just right.

This is for you if:

  • You understand training isn't the only step, but you need to plug awareness gaps and foster shared understanding.

  • You're ready to kickstart or refocus your team's commitment to action, beyond just thinking about it.

  • You need a bespoke session that's relevant to your organisation, not a generic webinar.

Got something else in mind?

I’m a sucker for an exciting DEI project, so just try me! If it’s in my zone of genius and gives me tingles, I won’t be able to resist.

Here’s what other organisations have hired me for:

  • Support on retainer

  • One-off consultation on a specific issue

  • Policy review

  • Review of the team's EDI learning needs, providing a practical plan for in-house training and development.

Oh me? I’m Sumi (they/she)

I’ve been DEI-ing in some way or another for 20 years. A big chunk of that was in the charity sector, so I genuinely get the realities of your world, and I've seen what works and what definitely doesn't. 

My approach is simple: cut the noise, strip away the jargon, and translate the big, scary world of inclusion into a straightforward, practical plan that actually delivers for your staff, your clients, and your organisation.
