Stonewall now employs almost 60 staff across England, Scotland and Wales. We regard our staff as our most precious resource and are committed to being an ‘employer of choice’.

In our confidential staff survey, conducted in March 2010, 100% of staff said they were proud to work for Stonewall, 97.8% of staff said their work gives them a sense of personal achievement, 97.8% of staff said that working for Stonewall is fun and 95.5% of staff said they’d recommend Stonewall as a good place to work

Stonewall is committed to promotion of diversity. We believe we have an obligation to ‘role model’ the sort of changes we expect of others. Currently, the proportion of women staff employed by the charity has risen to 53 per cent (up from 36 per cent at September 2006), the proportion of black and minority ethnic staff in our London office has risen to 21 per cent (up from 10 per cent in 2006) and the proportion of our staff who are disabled had risen to 11 per cent (up from 6 per cent in the same period).
