Diversity Role Models

Diversity Role Models is a dynamic charity whose vision is a world where everyone embraces diversity and can thrive. Our mission is to end bullying based on sexual orientation and gender identity in schools and promote understanding and acceptance of differences. We create inclusive learning environments where young people know they are valued and supported, regardless of their differences.

Our experienced team of educators and inspiring volunteer role models deliver in-person and online workshops for students in schools and colleges. Using pioneering educational content underpinned by powerful storytelling, we speak openly about lived experiences of difference and bullying. Our volunteer role models are at the heart of our delivery. They share their journeys towards living happy and fulfilling lives to inspire others.

Since our formation in 2011, we have worked directly with 1k+ schools in the UK and delivered workshops to 200k+ young people and trained 24k+ school staff members.
