Equality, diversity and inclusion
How we work to make you feel safe, understood, and included, and to treat everyone fairly.
Whatever your race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or disability, you are welcome here.
We want you to always feel safe, understood, and included, and to know you are being treated fairly.
We work hard to make sure Amazing Futures is safe and welcoming to:
- young people we support
- volunteers
- staff
We won’t discriminate against you or treat you unfairly.
We won’t allow other young people at our groups to treat you badly either. We have group agreements that all our young people have to agree to follow. They describe how we will treat each other at our groups.
We won’t tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia, or other forms of prejudice and bigotry.
Our policies ensure we treat everyone equally and fairly. We value equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) at Amazing Futures.
Intersectionality
We take an intersectional approach at Amazing Futures.
This means we try to understand how you might be affected by things like racism or sexism as well as ableism. We know the way these different kinds of oppression stack can cause different challenges.
We want to make sure we see the whole person, not just one part of you.

Here are some of the things we do to promote equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) at Amaze:
- We provide training to our staff
- We have an Equalities policy that makes sure we treat people fairly, and don’t tolerate discrimination
- We consider the language we use when we talk about disability and neurodivergence to make sure we’re being inclusive
- We have an internal EDI group at Amaze, so we can plan how we can do better, and track our progress
- We have an action plan to help us be an actively anti-racist organisation
- We follow equality law and best practice in how we treat our staff
You can read more about equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) at Amaze on our website for parent carers.
