TSL has released its statement around the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement today.

TSL is committed to contributing towards positive and progressive changes that help to reduce inequalities outlined by BLM. TSL’s Leadership Group has considered the statement carefully in order to ensure that its work is meaningful, has an impact and that it will be sustained in the long term.

Aside from setting clear principles for practice, TSL are also committing to a positive set of actions that aim to increase opportunities for black voices and develop a more inclusive environment.

One of these commitments is for members of the TSL Leadership Group to proactively go to meetings and events held by, and with black led organisations, in order to enhance engagement. TSL would very much welcome any opportunities to visit organisations, to understand what more it can do to further BLM in the third sector and our wider community.

If you would like a member of Leadership Group to visit or if you have views about how TSL can support positive change in the third sector, please contact Richard Warrington on Richard.warrington@val.org.uk
