What our partners are saying

“Women in Planning is a network, which aims to increasing diversity, inclusion and equality across the planning industry. We know we cannot achieve this aim alone and look to partner with organisations, such as BAME in Property, that fit our vision and ensure we meet our aim.”

Alison Mackay, Charlotte Morphet and Mary Fortune, National Co-Chairs, Women in Planning

Women in Planning is an independent network with the aim to promote a diverse, equitable and inclusive planning industry. We believe women should feel empowered when working in the planning industry.

“London Property Alliance is proud to be a partner of BAME in Property. We are four square behind the aims of the organisation, and recognise that our sector has far to go in improving the recruitment, retention and promotion of people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.

"Working with BAME in Property, and our network of members and stakeholders involved in Central London real estate, we are keen to make meaningful change to improve diversity and inclusion in the property profession.”

Charles Begley, Executive Director, London Property Alliance (City Property Association and Westminster Property Association)

“At a time when the Royal Town Planning Institute moves forward to increase the diversity of the planning profession,  it ensures planners are as representative of the communities they represent. I'm delighted the RTPI will be a partner to BAME in Property. We look forward to promoting our shared agendas and priorities to deliver and protect quality places that communities want. “

Victoria Hills MRTPI FICE, Chief Executive at Royal Town Planning Institute

The Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) is the UK's leading planning body for spatial, sustainable and inclusive planning and is the largest planning institute in Europe with over 25,000 members.

"Real estate and built environment professionals have one of the most important jobs out there. They have to design, build, creature, nurture and maintain places for us all to live, work and play in. Environments for the human race. For people of all backgrounds, all abilities, all genders, all races and all religions. That is why it is not just important, but is vital, that the industry reflects the environment it serves and that is why EG is proud to support BAME in Property, an organisation that is seeking to help real estate be more real, more reflective of society and, quite frankly, better than it has been before."

Samantha McClary, Editor, Estates Gazette

Estates Gazette is an award-winning magazine providing in-depth commercial property information including financial deals and advice, funds information, economic commentary, commercial property jobs and more.

"How can an industry experiencing severe skills shortages, with a predominantly white male and ageing workforce, not seek to become as diverse and inclusive as possible? We have relied for far too long on the easy fix of overseas workers and this has now resulted in a problem – and a huge opportunity. Building People supports all organisations and initiatives that are working to make our industry more diverse and we are proud to support BAME in Property and the forum it offers for professionals who are passionate about increasing ethnic diversity in the property and planning sectors.”

Rebecca Lovelace, Founder, Building People

Building People’s vision is to create and enable an ecosystem that improves diversity, increases competent labour supply and maximises economic and social value across the Built Environment.

charity partner

BAME in Property is pleased to support Binti Period, a charity that ensures every girl has menstrual dignity. Through teaching vulnerable women in India how to make their own pads, to providing free period products in public places, Binti’s mission is to deliver menstrual dignity with cultural awareness and context in mind, around the world.

For generations, planning policy has failed to adequately consider women’s toilet and menstrual needs. From long queues outside female toilets in public places, such as train stations and theatres, toilet space has generally been provided equally for men and women. However, just because it is equal, does not mean it is just; women have different needs and often require more time in the bathroom.

BAME in Property believes that the property industry has a crucial role to play in delivering safe and accessible toilets, particularly for women. From questioning design space to ensuring gender-neutral toilets are not the only option for women, planning policy must consider women’s needs in design evolution.

Our work with Binti involves working with the property industry to highlight good design and campaigning for menstrual products in public places. Individuals can also sign up for menstrual training, after which they will have the necessary knowledge to teach pupils in schools around the world.

This is not only to support vulnerable people but due to our social responsibility - going beyond bricks and mortar and supporting the development of thriving communities.

We support our charity partner through contributions from our paid corporate services, advocacy and pro-bono assistance. All of our networking events are free, so if you’d like to make a small donation to our charity partners when you attend an event, it will always be appreciated and a little can go a long way.
