- INCLUSION STATEMENT People are at the centre of the Globe's work. We create ways to enable our wide community to feel visible, and for everyone's contributions to the Globe's purpose to be heard and respected. We value and respect individual lived experience and drive inclusion through mindful awareness, empathy, care and belief, with a commitment to regularly improve how we empower and support people to do their best work. We will be honest and acknowledge our present conduct, approach and intention, as everyone works towards a shared common purpose to create greater inclusivity.
- PURPOSE OF THE ROLE & DESIRED IMPACT The Shakespeare Globe Trust is a registered charity (No. 266916).
