Gender Pay Gap
Active Nation is a charity with a clear purpose to make it possible for anybody to live a healthier and happier life. Our methodology to achieve this is to persuade the nation to be active, and so promoting equality of opportunity and a gender-balanced team of campaigners (staff) helps ensure we can fulfil this mission.
We rely on employees to work flexibly and in return we try to be flexible to individual needs; this allows for a wider cross section of our communities to work with us. All of our roles are equally relevant to both genders but the flexibility of hours often suits some people more than others. I can confirm that the data published is accurate and relates to the snapshot date of 5 April 2022.
