CRA events, inclusion and sustainability

We encourage attendance from members from ethnic minority communities as these groups are underrepresented in our sector. We welcome all voices, whether spoken, issued prior to meetings, or during meetings electronically. Most meetings are in hybrid format to allow members to take part regardless of distance, travel cost and other factors that might hinder face to face attendance. If you can’t attend face to face, due to distance or accessibility, select the hybrid option when booking.

We choose venues with sustainability in mind, close to public transport. We ask venues for their sustainability policies and encourage them to do more e.g. carbon smart menus.
