Celebrating Black History Month
As a diversity charity we are having a great time celebrating black history month and have webinars and events to share with everyone!
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.
We are now also listed as a local group on the Co-operate which is created with communities, for communities, and is owned by communities. Please view our profile by clicking here.
