Charity Group
Providing community and prison-based services for diverse communities across Kent
What We Do
We believe that every individual regardless of their race or ethnicity should be treated with dignity, respect and given the opportunity to access services within the community. Diversity House stands for the notion that people should have opportunities, support and encouragement to exercise control over their own lives as well as acknowledge their responsibilities to themselves and to others.
Therefore, in Diversity House it is important to us that given the right support, the people living within these communities should be able to exercise control over their own lives and acknowledge their responsibilities to themselves and others.
CPD Accredited
Diversity House is officially CPD Accredited and recognised by the CPD Standard Office. Delegates that complete our learning activities can request formal CPD Certificates.
Chamber of Commerce
Diversity House is a registered member of the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce which exemplifies our commitment to working with the local community in all aspects.
Our New Book Launch – 24th October
We are launching our latest book on the 24th October in London at the dissemination event at the Overseas House, The Royal Overseas League, 5 Park Place, St James’s Street London.
