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.

Betel offers a caring Christian environment where residents learn to care for and support one another as a family. They develop meaningful relationships in an atmosphere of acceptance and love, which, in turn, inspires self -esteem and hope for a new future. All Betel communities are peer 'motivated'. This means that those who have been in Betel longer care for and mentor newer residents. Having "been through it", their first hand experience serves as a powerful model and encouragement to others. The objectives is to help residents rebuild their own lives through community responsibility and shared decision making. As residents' motivation and stability improve, with time and experience, they are gradually given more responsibility for supervising household duties and monitoring daily work. Staff members live on site, and the majority of staff are recovered addicts themselves.

Pulp Friction Smoothie Bar CIO is a charity that employs and supports Learning Disabled and Autistic adults. We train our members to prepare, cook and serve fresh food at our Community Cafe at Bestwood Park Church and our canteen at the Joint Nottinghamshire Police and Fire Headquarters. We run regular SuperKitchen social eating events in community venues and offer a small outside catering service. Our Members also run our pedal-powered smoothie bars at public events and in public places. Based in Nottingham, we take our smoothie bar to local events, schools, youth clubs, trade fairs and more. Customers can make their own smoothies whilst having fun and getting some exercise! All our members work at their own pace and to their own strengths in a fun, friendly and supportive environment. With your help, we will continue developing their work-readiness, social and independence skills. We need food donations, money to buy aprons and uniforms, as well as willing volunteers to work alongside our members or give us IT support. Thank you!
