Rethink Mental Illness has been nominated for a prestigious award at the Inclusive Awards 2023.

Now in its ninth year, the Inclusive Awards is the only ceremony that rewards organisations and individuals who have excelled in their commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.

Taking place on 5 December at the Hurlingham Club in London, the Inclusive Awards will celebrate individuals and organisations who work tirelessly to remove barriers and put diversity at the very heart of everything they do.

Rethink Mental Illness are shortlisted for the Inclusive Culture Initiative Award, alongside organisations including Metro Bank, Auto Trader, and Capital One.

And we are delighted for the recognition of our work to become a truly diverse, inclusive and anti-racist organisation, supported by our fantastic staff networks and activities like our groundbreaking mutual mentoring programme.

"In difficult and challenging times, using the talent of a diverse workforce is more important than ever,” says Paul Sesay, CEO of Inclusive Companies and founder of the Inclusive Awards.

“The Inclusive Awards continue to be an exceptional way to celebrate the courageous actions of individuals and organisations, who are already striving for inclusion.

“Not only does diversity within a workforce foster an inclusive working environment, it can also bring business benefits and provide a market advantage.

“We look forward to celebrating the many and varied achievements of our finalists and I congratulate them all for being shortlisted for the impact they’ve made.”
