We champion inclusion and belonging across South East London’s health and care system.

Who we are
We are a cross-sector movement dedicated to advancing equality, diversity and inclusion across South East London’s health and care system.
Here’s how it started, what drives us, and the future we’re building together:
Rooted in collaboration
Established by the SEL ED&I Committee, the Collective connects colleagues from the NHS, local authorities, primary care, and the VCSE sector.
We deliver a packed co-created calendar of talks, events and workshops — building momentum and shared ownership across the region.
Driven by purpose
At our core, we believe everyone should feel seen, heard, and empowered in their workplace.
Through storytelling, events, and podcasts, we amplify lived experiences and spotlight inclusive leaders who reflect the communities we serve.
Shaping a shared future
We’re building a culture of continuous learning and action — from tackling the ethnicity pay gap to embedding anti-racism strategies.
Our events programme provides practical tools and guidance to help every organisation, no matter its size, move forward in its ED&I journey.
