Lindsay Wake, Head of Impact at Social Investment Scotland (SIS)

“Diversity and inclusion at leadership level is crucial in bringing different ideas and perspectives to the table that are representative of our society, as well as promoting equality among the businesses and communities we work within. In recent years, SIS has been working hard to shape a more inclusive environment, with our own practices influencing our customers, investees, and suppliers.

Joining CtC as an Affiliate Member builds on the positive steps we have already taken to make improvements and as one of the first partners, we have had the unique opportunity to collaborate with CtC to share our values and contribute to the development of the membership offering. We are looking forward to engaging with other members and the CtC team to continue our focus on equality and diversity on boards - not only for our own organisation, but for the

customers and stakeholders we work with too.”

Victoria Underwood, Head of Leadership, Governance and Research at College Development Network (CDN)

CDN is delighted to become an Affiliate Member of Changing the Chemistry. Our two organisations share a common commitment to increase diversity on boards, and diversity in governance and the advantages it can bring not only for our colleges and their students, but also for the economy and society as a whole. This new relationship builds on our successful collaboration on CDN’s Get Into Governance programme designed to educate and empower those thinking of taking on their first board role and we look forward to working together for the

benefit of the college sector and its stakeholders.”
