International Women’s Day at Age UK HHB: CEO Perspective
Published on 05 March 2026 03:01 PM
Our CEO, Julian Lloyd celebrates International Womens Day on Sunday 8th March and what it means to him.
International Womens Day is often a time when we celebrate famous women, spotlight global trailblazers, or reflect on those who have changed the course of history.
And rightly so.
But here at Age UK Hillingdon, Harrow and Brent (HHB), we know that change doesn’t always look like headlines or history books. Sometimes, it looks much quieter, and much closer to home.
At Age UK HHB, women don’t just change the world. They change someone’s world, every single day.
Across our organisation:
- 94% of our workforce are women
- 80% of our Senior Management Team (SMT) are women
These numbers matter, and we continue to track and reflect on them because representation, voice and leadership all count. But numbers alone never tell the full story.
What truly defines us is how our people show up for older residents, for carers, for families, and for one another.
At Age UK HHB, we are committed to being an inclusive organisation that reflects the communities we serve, treating everyone with dignity, respect and fairness, and recognising that diversity strengthens everything we do, from our services to our culture and leadership.
There are so many women across our organisation who embody this every day colleagues, volunteers and leaders whose compassion, resilience and quiet determination make a real difference in people’s lives.
