Diversity House Centre for Innovation and Development
The Diversity House Centre for Innovation and Development is a project that is supported by the UK Government for a total of six months, from November 2021 to June 2022, through the UK Community Renewal Funding (UKCRF). We would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for allowing us to continue delivering a comprehensive, all-encompassing intervention service to marginalised and disadvantaged people in Swale and Kent.
OUR VALUES
Diversity House’s core priorities and vision is promoting community integration, inclusion and cohesion. It also aims to tackle social inequalities caused by social determinants of gender, race/ethnicity, age, religion, beliefs, values, language, disability, socio-economic status, education, among others.
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.
