Equality and Diversity

We recognise the benefits of having a diverse group of colleagues, customers and board members. To that end, we have set equality and diversity targets for gender, disability and members of a minority ethnic group.

Below is the make-up of our workforce as of April 1 2025:

Broadacres Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Strategy (EDI) 2024-2026

Hand in hand with our vision to be the best rural housing association in the country comes a responsibility to show leadership in our work. This includes our ambitions towards diversity and inclusion. We have some firm foundations, and this strategy seeks to build from these to create the best possible environment and culture where customers and colleagues can flourish by virtue of being themselves.

Our EDI strategy has three strategic themes. We think that together these will enable and embed an organisational culture that supports equitable outcomes for our customers and colleagues, ensures that opportunities are accessible to all and our services are inclusive by design. The EDI strategy will work in conjunction with both the customer and people strategies. It is supported by specific customer and people policies and an EDI action plan to progress our work.

Gender Pay Gap

We monitor progress to ensure we maintain a level of diversity that is representative of the local demographics of the population in which we operate (North Yorkshire).  In addition to the target for 50:50 split across gender within the organisation, we strive to reduce the gender pay gap.
