THE IMPORTANCE OF DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND MENTAL HEALTH
At the NTIA, we support the individuals and businesses that make up the nightlife industries, a role that’s been pushed to the fore in 2020 as Covid-19 has ripped through the core of the scene.
We’ve witnessed the impact of the pandemic on the industry first-hand, and while the forthcoming challenges can’t be denied, it’s essential to note that the crisis has forged a stronger community than ever, ensuring the nightlife industries are well placed to take positive steps as we emerge into the post-Covid era.

Diversity, inclusion and mental health must all sit at the top of the agenda as we move forward. Over the next 12 months, we’ll curate a selection of events and services to provide our community with essential insight into the symbiotically linked concepts of wellbeing and inclusivity. Our goal is to offer tools, recognition and support to everyone in our industry, from employers and employees to business owners and freelancers — ultimately creating a more integrated, dynamic, and resilient scene. Join us! #WeAreAllInThisTogether
OUR VISION
To bring about effective change by forging alliances with like-minded organisations. To encourage working cultures in which diversity and inclusion form the fabric of best practice, by providing tools and resources to ensure the wellbeing of our people always remains at the heart of industry ethos. Protecting people and culture is at the centre of #savenightlife
OUR PLAN
- Create events to help develop mindset and provide tools for improving personal wellbeing, and the wellbeing of their workforce.
