Through the Q5 Foundation, our consultants provide pro bono support to organisations driving systemic social change.
We focus on issues like diversity and inclusion, social mobility, and challenges marginalised communities face. Our work aims to improve minority representation in business, increase board diversity, and tackle inequality.
Q5 is part of a collaborative ecosystem committed to addressing inequality and bias at entry level. These values are at the core of our client projects and the Foundation’s initiatives.
How can society address inequalities in healthcare, justice, housing, and education?
We base our work through the Foundation on the Transforming Communities Report. To tackle large societal changes, empower the community and promote inclusive growth, we advocate collaboration between government bodies, private sector partners, and grassroots organisations.
What are the challenges facing black talent entering the UK workforce?
This first Impact Report from the 10,000 Black Interns Foundation analyses four years of progress for diversity in employment through its 10,000 internships and the challenges that remain in creating a truly equal and inclusive workforce.
How do you transform your sustainability intentions into actionable strategies?
The report provides practical guidance to help organisations achieve their environmental, social and governance goals (ESG). This allows them to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Can we address the UK’s labour shortage in a purpose-driven way?
To help hire individuals from marginalised groups (e.g. care leavers, those with disabilities or a criminal record), the report presents a “triple win” strategy. This approach benefits businesses, expands individual opportunities, and strengthens the economy through greater productivity and diversity.
