Importance of equality, diversity and inclusion
There are many reasons why promoting equality, diversity and inclusion is fundamentally important for us.
The people we support are more likely to experience disadvantage and discrimination.
Equality, diversity and inclusion improves their relationships and outcomes of moving away from the streets.
Equality, diversity and inclusion improves the health and wellbeing, performance and development of our staff and helps to ensure everyone feels valued.
Our vision for equality, diversity and inclusion is that it will be embedded in our culture, services and workforce.

Diversity networks and allies
We are proud of our nine staff diversity networks. Alongside their day jobs, network members raise awareness and visibly celebrate the culture and history of those they represent. They organise events, influence policy, share best practice and provide peer support.
We also have over 150 Diversity and Inclusion Allies who are staff members that champion equality, diversity and inclusion in their teams.

Emma's experience
We're proud to have been on Stonewall's list of Top 100 Employers for LGBTQ+ Inclusion for the past eight years.
Read her blog here"I can’t put into words how it feels to know there are other people in the office that, like me, are proud of their sexuality and want to encourage others to be the same. It’s an amazing feeling to not feel so alone.” - Emma, Lease and Contract Administrator and LGBTQIA+ Network Coordinator.
Who we are

The people we support
At St Mungo’s, we support some of the most marginalised people in our society and we are privileged to work with a hugely diverse group of them.
- Over two thirds of the people we work with have issues with their mental health.
- 40% of the people we support are from a Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority background and we know that Black people are more than three times as likely to experience homelessness.
- Almost one in five LGBTQ+ people (18%) have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives.
- 25% of trans people have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives.

Our work on ending women's homelessness
We recognise that women experience homelessness differently - they are still at a disproportionate risk of harm from those they love and trust, alongside the existing dangers of homelessness.
Our Women’s Strategy is designed to address the ways in which women experience homelessness differently from men, equipping us to achieve equally positive outcomes with our female clients.
