diversity living services
Diversity means valuing an individual's right to identify with race, colour,
gender, age, religious belief, ethnicity, cultural background, marital or family
status, economic circumstance, human capacity, expression of thought and sexual
orientation as well as their experiences, skills and capabilities. Diversity
values, enriches and strengthens the contributions and rights of all
communities. Diversity contribute to making more informed and targeted decisions
and services, drawing on a wide range of ideas, cultures, experiences, and
approaches. We believe that everyone should have an equal opportunity to improve
their life prospects and wellbeing but some of us face barriers to achieving
this, due to such factors as discrimination, poverty, poor mental or physical
health, family and cultural constraints, lack of skills, lack of awareness of
options open to them. This motivated us to establish DLS, so that we can work to
help BAMER people in in UK overcome these disadvantages and to ensure they have
a voice. We also believe that increasing equality has a positive impact on
society at large and that every member within it stands to gain from it.
