Allyship

Structured support for women, across the city and beyond, through one-to-one mentoring

Allyship is a simple principle which can transform the workplace for individuals from minority or underrepresented groups. WLUK  supports local businesses to consider how allyship can help them create a more inclusive workplace where women can thrive, helping move organisations towards gender parity.

Anyone has the potential to be an Ally. Male Allies recognise that they have a role to play in progressing gender equality in the workplace and beyond. They acknowledge privilege and advocate for change. Sessions are not exclusively for male leaders, as we can all learn more about how to support women in the workplace better either by culture or process changes.

The programme consists of a 2-hour workshop event with your organisation’s senior leaders. For smaller businesses, there is the opportunity to join a group session with other small business owners.

Special thanks to Gamiel Yafai (MD Diversity Marketplace) for supporting the Allyship Programme

“For almost two decades, we at Diversity Marketplace have tirelessly championed change by educating male leaders on the imperative of amplifying women’s voices, increasing their visibility, and intentionally sponsoring female talent within their organisations.

Our mission has been to empower women to reach their full potential and advocate for the transformative change that gender equality brings.”
