Inclusion: At the Heart of Phoenix

We are working hard to make sure that Phoenix is an inclusive and welcoming place for everyone – a place that is representative of the communities we serve, that celebrates diversity, and provides equality of opportunity.

For us, inclusion is about creating an environment where everyone feels they belong, and to help us achieve this we aim to listen and learn, to be open to ideas and to take action to understand people’s needs and get them involved – especially those from groups under-represented in the arts.

We aim to...

  • Recruit, develop, nurture and promote talent
  • Ensure every individual is treated with dignity and respect
  • Deliver excellent service to our customers and wider audiences
  • Support and work in partnership with our diverse communities, who live and work in Leicester, Leicestershire and beyond
  • Support our partners, suppliers, community and business partners in promoting and achieving equality, diversity and inclusion
  • Have effective equality, diversity and inclusion policies, practices and procedures

These aims are embedded within our organisation – they underpin our thinking and our actions. We are held accountable to these aims by our Board of Trustees and our stakeholders.
