Who We are

Social Equity Centre was founded in July 2023 by co-founders Teo Benea and Adina Maglan, together with our Director, Teresa Norman, with a shared vision of creating a more inclusive and equitable public sector.

Teresa Norman, Teo Benea & Adina Maglan – the core SEC team

Why do we exist?

The three Directors, through their professional background, expertise, and lived experience understand the barriers many people face when pursuing careers in the public sector or seeking opportunities to influence decision-making. These challenges have implications in decision making and service design that exclude groups and experiences of people whose identities were not represented.

This inspired the creation of Social Equity Centre.


We aim to break down those barriers by supporting first-generation migrants to access public sector careers, develop their leadership potential, and have a stronger voice in shaping the services and institutions that affect their communities, strengthening UK’s democracy.

Fundamentally, we work towards a more equitable world for migrants.
