Diversify Education and Communities CIC is all about promoting cultural diversity and inclusion in schools, businesses and the community. We promote cultural diversity and inclusion through a range of exciting resources, training workshops as well as support/signposting for those persons affected by racism or discrimination. We also provide a hot meals and food parcel distribution to persons in need within the Nottingham city area.

YMCA Robin Hood Group (formally Nottinghamshire YMCA) was established in 1871 to develop the mind, body and spirit of individuals, families and communities. Our passions are youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Our values, based on Christian ethos, responsibility, honesty, respect and caring are the core themes of our programmes. We provide a variety of user-led programmes across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, such as supported accommodation for both homeless adults and children in care, outdoor education, digital media and the arts, supporting some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged community members into volunteering, employment and training. We ensure that everything we offer is fully inclusive and accessible, working specifically in disadvantaged areas. Donations will be used for the following: Supported Accommodation for homeless people including our hostel and Transitional homes in the community; Residential Care Homes for Looked After Children; Children's Services such as Day Camps and Childcare; Youth Services such as Outdoor Education, Creative Arts and Digital Media; Health and Fitness, improving health for All Communities. We YMCA specialise in supporting hard-to-reach, challenging, vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. We are proud to deliver innovative programmes that make a positive difference to people, raising aspirations and supporting some of the most disadvantaged and marginalised people across the county. The disadvantages these communities face, include financial, disability, social, mental, physical, homelessness, among others. We provide direction, guidance and support and are committed to delivering high quality, accessible, life-changing, development opportunities that improve people’s health, education, confidence, transferable life skills, increase positive behaviours, and encourage them into education, employment or training.

We provide support for young people within the community offering a range of activities including sports, crafts and cooking. We ask for a small fee to enter and provide all activities and ingredients free for young people to ensures it's inclusive to all. With the cost of living crisis, some young people don't always have the opportunities to learn to cook family meals so any support we can give them is greatly appreciated.
