What we do
Programmes that build careers and change practice
G15 Ethnicity in Housing Awards
Forty-nine nominees across nine categories at County Hall, celebrating excellence in colleague development and resident focus.
Leadership Now!
CPD-accredited and created with Gatenby Sanderson. Ninety-four colleagues have completed it, and 59% of the first four cohorts went on to a promotion or pay rise.
Development & Sales Mentoring
Twenty-three mentees matched with forty-one senior mentors across nine housing associations, opening doors that formal training alone cannot.
The challenge
We must be clear-eyed
Ethnic representation on G15 boards fell between 2022 and 2025. Development programmes have not reliably translated into progression, which makes the original 30% pledge target unattainable on its current path.
This demands systemic change beyond individual talent support.
Where we’ve come from
Ten years of refusing to work alone
Staff networks from Clarion, Notting Hill, Peabody, Genesis and L&Q meet in October. UNIFY begins.
G15 chief executives meet UNIFY to discuss colleagues from ethnically diverse backgrounds.
The G15 Ethnic Diversity Pledge is signed, targeting 30% representation at board level.
Ninety-four colleagues have now completed Leadership Now! The Staff Network Forum relaunches as a monthly meeting.
