    Take a look at the Creative Medway Diversity Toolkit! 👀

    We’re excited to share a brand-new resource to help you make your work more inclusive and reflective of our diverse community.

    The Creative Medway Diversity Toolkit supports you to:

    ✅ Represent people from different backgrounds and abilities
    ✅ Ensure everyone feels seen, heard, and included
    ✅ Take practical actions to champion Equality, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (EDEI)

    Developed by Medway’s cultural community and tested with local practitioners and organisations throughout 2025, this toolkit is designed to inspire real change across our creative sector.
