Elevating the voices of ethnically and culturally diverse communities through education, events, and training to create equitable, inclusive futures
Want to help create a society free from discrimination and inequality?
We provide diversity and inclusivity training to organisations in the Gloucestershire area and beyond.
Lives of Colour is an initiative of the Nowans Trust Community Charity and was launched in 2018. We work to empower organisations on the importance of equity, equality, diversity, and inclusion. By providing more than solely diversity training, we share best practices for culture change and elevate the voices of diverse communities in Gloucestershire and beyond for equitable future.
Our Vision
Ultimately, we’re working toward a world where we are all curious to learn from one another, where difference is celebrated and embraced and where we can show up and thrive as ourselves at work as we are at home.
Our Values
Curiosity
Opening the door to different points of view, facilitating insights and
understanding, inviting involvement and inspiring greater inclusivity.
Collaboration
Groups and individuals who truly collaborate see the value in working together.
Candour
Honesty and trust are about creating a culture of openness. They are rooted in interactions between us all, as well as the principle of acting in the best interests of others.
Courage
Courage requires an ability to understand societal inequality and its impact (both positive and negative) on yourself and others. It requires us all to remove
obstacles to inclusiveness.
