Growth is at the heart of this issue. Built By Us marks its transition to a Community Interest Company. And looks ahead to its 10-year anniversary in August, welcoming new board members Femi Oladiran and Meghna Patel.
Yet the moment calls for honesty: the weaponisation of EDI and divisive political rhetoric pose a real and present risk to the progress made across the built environment.
The newsletter points to opportunities to act, from a live UKReiif fishbowl discussion on equity to roles, training programmes, and reading on DeafSpace design. Let's stay optimistic and keep moving forward.
