Based on the sample, Animal charities display the lowest level of ethno-cultural diversity at under 2% of the senior leadership.

Women hold only 41% of senior leadership positions in leading UK charities, despite representing 51% of the UK population. At the Top 3 level this is even less at just 27.5%, demonstrating that there may still be a glass ceiling holding women back from the most senior decision-making roles.
