Anti-racist Engagement

We want to make our work as inclusive and accessible as possible. This project will involve members from minority ethnic groups to explore how we can make our practice more inclusive, and to see if we are unintentionally excluding anyone.

Empowered Employees

This is the next phase of a project in which some Barnwood Circle members were involved in 2023. Eight employers in the county have developed action plans to make their workplaces and recruitment processes more accessible. This project will see Barnwood Circle members reviewing those action plans and giving feedback to the employers.

A group of Experts by Lived Experience have already been recruited for this work and we look forward to sharing details of the project soon.

Annual Members Event

This is an opportunity for members of Barnwood Circle to come together to listen, learn and celebrate achievements.

A group of Experts by Lived Experience have already been recruited for this work. They would be working with the engagement team to make the event welcoming. Inclusive and engaging, and that members leave the event feeling valued and that they are contributing to the work of Barnwood Trust.

Together with Barnwood

We are involving Barnwood Circle members in designing and delivering Barnwood Trust’s Annual Public Meeting.  This will help to make it as accessible and inclusive as possible.
