We’ve committed to the PiPA Pledge

LUNG are proud to join a sector-wide commitment to support parents and carers in the performing arts. By committing to the PiPA Pledge, we commit to work towards the five principles:

  • Recognise barriers and take informed action.

  • Champion parents and carers as integral to our creative strength.

  • Balance work-life to support wellbeing and power creativity.

  • Evolve policies and practices to stay adaptable, responsive and relevant.

  • Celebrate the creativity, skills and experiences carers and parents bring.

We’ll work with PiPA and PiPA Partners to embed this pledge into our organisation in a meaningful way that reflects the realities, ambitions, and structure of our organisation.

What This Means for You: This will vary on a case-by-case basis. We actively welcome conversations about how we can support colleagues in balancing their caring responsibilities with their professional lives. This may include flexible working arrangements or other tailored approaches that help people thrive at work, remotely and at home.

You can learn more about PiPA’s research, resources, and sector-wide initiatives at www.pipacampaign.org.
