Altogether Better TPP Inclusive Recruitment Grant
Applications for our latest Altogether Better Inclusive Recruitment Grant grant are now closed. Read about some of our previous winners below.
Crohn's & Colitis UK
Crohn’s & Colitis UK applied to the TPP Altogether Better Inclusive Recruitment Grant to gain support in improving diversity within their recruitment processes and to understand how to project their brand to attract applicants that reflect the wider community. They had made some changes to their recruitment process but felt there was more they could do to make it more accessible and inclusive at every stage.
Women in Prison
Women in Prison wanted to ensure their recruitment campaign attracted a broad range of candidates and that they were able to communicate their message within the most appropriate channels that would bring the diversity they required. In addition, as an organisation they wanted to ensure that they were providing the right tools for any individual, to enable them to do their role to the best of their ability and remain on the board.
British Youth Council
British Youth Council had a desire to look at who was underrepresented in their team, and analyse who they were not reaching when it came to candidate attraction and the demographics of candidates that they were attracting, and make the necessary changes to recruitment strategies.
Derbyshire Wildlife Trust
As a result of the recommendations made by TPP, Derbyshire Wildlife Trust said that they would "continue to promote inclusive recruitment processes". They foresee this having an impact on their future inclusive recruitment campaigns "leading to increased diversity"

Our members bring a wealth of diverse experiences and perspectives, enabling us to approach challenges with creativity and effectiveness. We all have a shared commitment to creating a fairer and more accepting environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and be their true selves.
We come as one to look for ways that we can support both clients and customers in enhancing diversity efforts.
While we are continuing to grow, we have initiated several key programmes and projects, such as organising internal and external D&I shared learning, celebrating diversity awareness, coming together to generate innovative ways of improving the scope of the EDI survey. We are also RIDI Pioneers, working towards Disability Confident level 2 and loads more.
Through these efforts, we aim to set a benchmark for inclusion within the recruitment industry, ensuring that TPP Recruitment is not only a great place to work but also a leader in fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion.
Having worked in recruitment for over 3 decades I have always strongly believed that every applicant should have a fair and unbiased opportunity to secure a role based only on their skills, experience and were essential, qualifications. As recruiters we are in a unique position to have a positive and impactful influence on our clients and candidates. Being a member of the EDI Steering Group, we can use our influence to ensure that we our attracting diverse talent and we can assist our clients on their EDI journey. I ask myself, “what can I do” and “how can I improve things” and as an active member of the SG this means sharing knowledge, being curious, fostering inclusive recruitment and creating opportunity for candidates and finding the best talent for our clients.
I joined the EDI steering group because I felt a strong need to represent and support the creation of an inclusive recruitment process. With a passion for people and for change, I wanted to learn and gain more knowledge on how we can achieve this. I love coming together with other advocates to share thoughts and different prospectives.
Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) are crucial to me as they foster fair and inclusive environments where everyone can bring their unique perspectives, contributions, and experiences to any given space and are valued and respected. Breaking barriers of engagement and systems that negatively impact our sense of belonging have been a consistent mission for me throughout my career. Through student advocacy, campaigning and collective activism, I have learnt and seen that the work of creating sustainable change cannot be done in isolation, but must be done in and with community, and I’m glad that I can continue this great work at TPP. By championing EDI principles, we can create a more equitable society and workforce where individuals are empowered to thrive regardless of their protected characteristics.
I joined the EDI steering group because I am passionate about anyone and everyone having the opportunities to live a meaningful, fulfilling life, whatever that means for them. I also believe that education around EDI is really important, so that we can all understand each other better and be more inclusive and accepting Sarah O'Hara I'm thrilled to be part of the EDI Steering Group as I think it so important to encourage positive changes in creating a fairer world for all. Each person carries their own unique story and lived experiences and everyone should feel that they have a safe space to be their authentic self, regardless of their background or identity. Being able to contribute, help close down these limiting barriers and be part of this continuously learning journey is incredibly fulfilling!
Joining the ED&I steering group feels like a powerful chance to build a more inclusive recruitment process. We all deserve a level playing field to demonstrate our capabilities. This role allows us to identify and dismantle any unconscious biases that might be present. By focusing on ensuring a fair and balanced evaluation for everyone, we can create a space where talent and experience truly shine. Ultimately, it's about giving everyone the chance to reach their full potential.
In a diverse and inclusive work environment, everyone contributes unique skills and perspectives. By providing a safe environment, employees are empowered to be their true selves, bringing out the best in all of us and helping us to learn from each other. In my HR role, I prioritise the welfare of my colleagues and being part of the EDI Steering Group helps encourage the celebration and exploration of these unique and special differences.

Initially I joined the TPP EDI Steering Group to see what we were doing as a company with all aspects of diversity & inclusion. I had not been involved in anything relating to any form of diversity & inclusion in the workplace before, so I volunteered as a learning curb. Long may it continue.
