The AIA UK chapter is committed to promoting Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the architectural profession. We strive to understand how social mobility, gender parity, BAME & LGBTQ representation, mental health & well-being, and the inclusion of those with disabilities can be improved. Through our events and initiatives, we seek to raise awareness of the challenges which are still prevalent within our industry and to offer our support and resources to those who may need it.  

We would love to hear from you. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us at edi@aiauk.org if you have any ideas and recommendations.
