More Than Words:
Practical anti-racism and active allyship

A self paced anti-racism programme for leaders, teams and practitioners navigating race, power and belonging at work.

More Than Words helps people build the confidence, language and practical skills to respond with more care, courage and accountability when things feel difficult, tense or unclear.

It is a practical workplace anti-racism and allyship programme for those who care about equity but want to be more prepared or supported when harm, defensiveness, hard conversations or ruptures arise at work.

closing the gap

More than good intentions


Many organisations say they care about equity, but good intentions alone do not prepare people for the moments when racism or discrimination shows up, nor do they create the inclusive culture they want.

Allyship is a skillset, not an identity

People want to respond well, but do not know what to say, how to intervene, what their role is, or how to act with both care and accountability under pressure. Those impacted by harm are left carrying the weight of poor responses, silence, defensiveness or inaction.

Preparedness can be built

More Than Words helps close the preparedness gap by building the confidence, language and practical skills needed to respond well, support those impacted, and act with care, courage and accountability.

    Practical ways to turn ideas about power, race and identity into everyday actions that build inclusion into our work life and workplaces

What Participants Say...

  • “As a Black woman, when work asks you to do these kinds of courses, it can be triggering. But this felt different. I could do it when I felt resourced, and it supported me to process racism, not just understand it for someone else’s benefit.”

  • “I feel really proud that my organisation has invested in this. When I talk to my peers about what we’re doing, it’s clear that lots of others are just doing box ticking.”

  • “This course wasn’t just about helping white people understand racism. It helped me manage the impact of it, and still gave me space to feel hopeful. Surprisingly, it also helped me build more empathy for people who are trying to unlearn and show up differently, even if they get it wrong sometimes.”

  • “It gave me language I didn’t have before. It has helped build a shared language, framework and understanding as a whole team about why this matters.”

  • "I was worried I wouldn't have anything to contribute as a white person or that it wasn't really about me. Now I see how important it is that I engage with this topic and hoe essential I am to change happening."

  • "The materials are really impactful. We are still talking about some of the videos which helped us understand some of the most important issues."
