What is About Time?

About Time will increase the number of people involved in public life across the UK, by overcoming barriers that get in the way of participation. After all, effective boards need more people to root, connect, serve and challenge them. And the breadth that diversity provides is critical to a board's ability to spot issues and trends.

Over the years there have been many initiatives seeking to increase the numbers involved in public life without much success. So isn't it About Time we really made it happen?

The Role of the Regulator

"If you know that nothing is going on and you are only sought to adorn some venture and add your own credibility to it, be careful. Even worse, don't do it if the new venture is only being undertaken as a way to prevent something better from emerging."
