This year’s Black History Month theme, ‘Proud to Be’, invites members of the Black community to share what they are proud to be – celebrating individual stories and the vast richness of diversity that Black people bring to the UK in their own way, in their own words. We started celebrating early last month, when our colleague Tola, from our Counter Fraud team, starred in a Channel 4 advert as part of their Black to Front takeover. In keeping with the moments of Black joy theme, we've asked more of Black colleagues to share what brings them joy in a series of short films that we'll share throughout the month. But to kick off things off we wanted to share some of the ways we're supporting Black inclusion here at DLG; - We’ve made commitments to increase Black representation in leadership, and launched inclusive hiring principles and training. - We’ve launched a programme of awareness and education – including our reverse mentoring programme and inclusive leadership training for our leaders. - We’re looking at how we drive the right external partnerships in the community. Our BAME network have partnered with and made donations to the Black Cultural Archives and The Runnymede Trust via our Community Fund. - We’ve also signed up to both the Race At Work Charter and the 10000BlackInterns scheme. #BHM #BH21 #Proudtobe #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #raceequality

We're proud to have partnered with Channel 4 as part of their ambitious #BlacktoFront project. A whole day of programming that entertained viewers and created conversation about Black portrayal and representation on- and off-screen. Our very own Fehintola, a Counter Fraud Handler here at DLG, shared his love of podcasts and vegan food as part of an ad-break takeover 'Moments of Black joy'. Black employees, from HSBC and Tesco also give viewers a glimpse into their personal lives and share what brings them joy. Check out the full ad here. #C4BlackAndProud #BlacktoFront
