More than a CIC, The Diverse Creative was founded in 2017 by an entrepreneur who was also diagnosed with Dyslexia at the age of 19.
Our vision is always the same to eradicate the stigma of dyslexia, bring about awareness within the local communities to both individuals and organisations and support all dyslexics by creating environments and messages that allow each of us equal opportunities to reach our full potential.
The study by the Equality and Human Rights Commission reports progress towards equality in the past 20 years was “littered with missed opportunities.”
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to help rebuild confidence and provide solutions to those that have suffered in silence with their learning disabilities. We want to create ripples of change by empowering the people of the local communities and organisations. Those that have had to remain silent, when their contributions could help to create and secure futures for others that have been outcasted, fired or deemed as stupid because their disability is not in a visual form. The Diverse Creative Cic, we work to end discrimination locally and globally for dyslexics and we want you to join us.
Currently, our programmes include:
-
Screening services: We offer Dyslexia and ADHD screening services which enable people to request ‘Access to Work’ support and reasonable adjustments in current places of work
Education: Financial literacy, education and support for Black women to cultivate a good relationship with money therefore breaking generational wealth gaps, training for organisations - Entrepreneurship: Providing practical support, coaching and mentoring to pursue entrepreneurial ideas and opportunities where traditional employment isn’t a viable option, either by experience or choice
- Community: Convening and holding hybrid community spaces for people to provide support and learning while navigating the world as Disabled people.
