We’re proud to share that the Global Equality Collective (GEC) and our amazing Founder & CEO, Nic Ponsford, have been nominated in three categories at this year’s National Diversity Awards: 

  Entrepreneur of Excellence – Nic Ponsford
  Positive Role Model (Gender) – Nic Ponsford
  Community Organisation (Multi-Strand) – The GEC Circle 

We’ve been nominated before. We’ve even been shortlisted. But we’ve never made it to the finals. 

Could this be the year we finally put #EdTech and #Inclusion on the national stage? 

With the release of our new report, ‘26,000 Voices: What Students and Staff Really Think About Inclusion’, the timing couldn’t be more powerful. We’ve surfaced the hidden truths about belonging in schools — now let’s make sure the whole country hears them. 

But we need your help – and quickly!

 Please take 1 minute to vote here before the deadline at midnight on Tuesday 14th May:

Vote for the Community Organisation Award: GEC Circle

Vote for Positive Role Model Award for Gender: Nic Ponsford

Vote for Entrepreneur of Excellence Award: Nic Ponsford

Together, we’re leading the #InclusionRevolution. Let’s make sure GEC is recognised for the impact we've all created – in schools, communities, and the future of education. 

Let’s make this the year we change the game. 
Thank you, as always, for being with us. 

With gratitude,
The GEC Team
