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 inequity?
At Lives of Colour, we partner with organisations across Gloucestershire and beyond to turn good intentions into meaningful, lasting change.
Launched in 2018 as an initiative of the Nowans Trust Community Charity, we go beyond one-off diversity training. We work alongside businesses, schools and public sector organisations to embed equity, equality, diversity and inclusion into everyday culture.
Our approach is open, honest and non-judgemental, helping organisations build confidence, capability and connection in how they approach inclusion.
Together, we’re working towards a future where everyone can belong, contribute and thrive.
Our Vision
To create a world of curiosity that allows everyone to learn, celebrate and embrace our differences.
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.
