Celebrating a diverse history
The Brontës are for everyone.
Our friendly team welcomes everyone into the Museum with kindness and respect. We want every visitor to feel comfortable within the Museum and have the chance to learn about and be inspired by the Brontës.
Today, the Museum works to promote the Brontës’ literary legacy, encouraging new interpretations of their works through regular talks, contemporary art and discussion. We continue to promote inclusion and equality within the Museum for ourselves and our visitors.
The Brontë Society has a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and to promoting a positive culture which celebrates difference, ensures fairness and challenges prejudice.
This work is on-going. For real change to happen, we know the importance of being open minded and open hearted and we’re glad so many of our visitors feel the same way.
Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
Equality
The Brontë Society values all individuals and will offer a level playing field in order for them to reach their full potential as employees or volunteers, or be able to access our museum and its programme. We recognise that sometimes being fair means treating people differently: this is equity.
Diversity
The Brontë Society acknowledges that individuals and groups do have differences. We see those differences and value them, understanding that our organisation can become richer and more relevant by including and listening to diverse voices and learning from everyone’s lived experiences.
Inclusion
The Brontë Society is for everyone, regardless of background and / or lived experience. We want everyone to feel safe, respected and treated equally.
Belonging
The Brontë Society will strive to ensure that everyone involved with the organisation also feels welcome, accepted and that their contribution is valued.
We're continuing to explore the diverse histories connected to the Brontës' works and times. Please check back in the future for more...
