A Collective of small & medium sized businesses championing Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion.
Our Mission is to collaborate with like-minded SMEs to build knowledge & accessible resources to help transform our organisations.
Small & Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), with up to 250 employees, make up a staggering 99.9% of UK businesses, creating 51% of UK Turnover & 60% of our employment. That’s a whole lot of potential that we think is being under-utilised to bring about a more Just, Equitable, Diverse and Inclusive society.
The nature of SMEs can make work in the JEDI space harder – we tend to have less people, less budget, less resource, less connections, less scale, less efficiency. But that’s if we operate on our own. If we work together, as a JEDI Collective, we can collaborate for greater efficiency, effectiveness, impact & change, regardless of our individual size.
“ When we listen and celebrate what is both common and different, we become wiser, more inclusive, and better as an organisation. ”

Our Collaborators
Having founded the Collective at the end of 2023, we are starting Year One with what we believe is a realistic and focused plan of action to get us started, prove the Collective concept and sow the seeds of change.
Launching to the 4 Founding organisations on 19th Feb 2024, following Random Acts of Kindness Day, the Collective is organising a series of JEDI events throughout the year for participating organisations.
