The world today

Comic Relief’s Strategy (2023-2027) recognises that in the UK and around the world, too many people are being left behind. Whether it be increasing poverty levels, extreme weather or war, too many people are facing pain and suffering. If you happen to be an asylum seeker, disabled, LGBTQ+, Muslim, a person of colour, a woman or working-class, then these crises are even worse, full of more challenge and injustice. But our strategy also recognises that there is still hope. Helping others isn’t charity, it’s humanity. When we come together to help others, we unleash the best in all of us. And our humanity compels us at Comic Relief to commit to become a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist organisation.

DEIB at Comic Relief

DEIB stands for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging. These are essential principles for creating a workplace culture that values and supports everyone, regardless of their background or identity. Diversity is the presence of differences within a group, including race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, religion, socioeconomic status, and other attributes. Equity is ensuring fair treatment, access, opportunities, and advancement for all people while striving to identify and eliminate barriers that hinder full participation.
 Inclusion is creating environments where any individual or group feels welcomed, respected, Belonging at Comic Relief. Belonging goes beyond inclusion to ensure everyone feels accepted and valued for their authentic selves, making them feel an integral part of the organisation, our vision, and our mission. These principles aim to foster a work environment where everyone feels important and can fully contribute to Comic Relief’s success.
