*Opportunity Now is the only membership organisation representing employers who want to transform the workplace by ensuring inclusiveness for women. They work to build and communicate the business case for this, to share and inspire best practice and to give employers and their people the tools to drive change.

**MERLIN aims to inspire and raise the aspirations of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) young people through interaction with adults of similar ethnic backgrounds. BAME business professionals volunteer to serve as inspirational examples and role models in schools.

***Mosaic is a multiple set of initiatives designed to support young Muslims and their peers growing up in our deprived areas whilst also breaking down barriers and suspicions within British society.

****Race for Opportunity is committed to improving employment opportunities for ethnic minorities across the UK. It is the only race diversity campaign that has access to and influence over the leaders of the UKs best known organisations.
