Get involved

Our branch reflects the diversity of the 3,500 members we serve across central London. The branch committee organise a programme of events and activities to support people professionals. Currently we're focusing on the following key themes:

  • Our People Profession - research, reports and future trends
  • Equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Pay, reward and benefits

The CIPD Branch in Central London is passionate about engaging as many members across the people profession as we can, in particular to:

  • Freelancers and independent consultants: we run regular networking events and meetings to support these members.
  • Students: we partner with some of Central London’s finest institutions to maximise our reach and collaborate with student members.

We want to hear from you. Got an idea for an event? Want to get involved in helping to run the Central London Branch? Contact us - we are a responsive and enthusiastic bunch!

Equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging 

Led by our Co-Chair Woosh Raza, who identifies as both a person of colour and a member of the LGBT+ community, we are passionate about making a positive difference to foster a sense of inclusion and belonging for all.

Health and wellbeing 

Led by branch committee member Charlotte Brownlee, we want to make sure we are looking after our members, many of whom have a responsibility for wellbeing within their organisations. As a profession and certainly after the pandemic, we need to make sure we aren’t pouring from an empty cup. Our wellbeing events are focused on both our organisation and ourselves, as people professionals.
