Diversity Resource International (DRI) is a non-profit Community Interest Company that supports ethnically diverse and migrant communities.

At Diversity Resource International, we are passionate believers in the importance of community and the benefits it provides to individuals and society at large. Our board is made up of individuals who have worked in a wide range of community and individual development programmes, all of whom have lived experience of being a minority in the UK.

Our core activities

Creation and support of community groups to enable their involvement in areas of local decision making.

Research on the evidence and needs of local communities to promote positive social change.​

Mentorship for community members to foster new generations of minoritised leaders.

Provision of training and consultancy for organisations and community members to improve service delivery.

Our Theory of Change

We believe these activities help us reduce inequalities and promote a fair and inclusive society. For more information, please read our Theory of Change strategy.

Working with you

We work in partnerships with public, voluntary, and community organisations to bridge the linguistic and cultural communication gaps, raise awareness of the impact of structural discrimination, and bring about greater social justice.
