Across the UK, too many under-represented and marginalised people remain unseen, unheard and underserved.
This inequality isn’t just unfair – it has real consequences, including preventable deaths, poor health, low income, limited education and employment opportunities, and fewer chances to build a better life.
Thankfully, many charities and not-for-profit organisations are working tirelessly to change this – and we’re proud to have partnered with some of them already.
Now, we’re excited to help even more equality, diversity and inclusion charities tell their stories and continue building a fairer society where everyone can thrive.
How we work with equality, diversity and inclusion charities
If we’re fortunate enough to work with your EDI charity, we’ll begin by really getting to know you.
We’ll take a deep dive into your services, campaigns and the issues you’re most passionate about. Next, we’ll explore your project brief with you – discussing sensitivities and mapping out the best approach forward.
From there, our creatives get to work, weaving Yarn’s five golden threads – stimulating, moving, accurate, relatable and trustworthy – into the stories they craft for you.
Throughout your project, you can count on us to respond to queries quickly, offer expert guidance, and keep everything running smoothly.
Because with every client, our goal is simple: to surpass your expectations and make the whole project enjoyable, inspiring and meaningful.
Our equality, diversity and inclusion clients
Our projects for charities focused on equality, diversity and inclusion
"My team had an opportunity to use some last minute funding for piece of work which we hadn’t anticipated. When we initially approached you for the work, we hadn’t fully articulated our idea but Laura and the team were incredible in supporting us to really narrow our brief. They really took the time to understand our context, our aims, our resources, to ask all the right questions and help us make decisions and concessions as needed along the way, ultimately producing exactly what we needed, on time and within budget."
