Dyslexia Cornwall has recently celebrated its award of £19,995 from the National Lottery Community Fund, which distributes money raised by National Lottery players for good causes and is the largest community funder in the UK, at its annual planning meeting held at Chacewater Village Hall on 10th September 2024.

Dyslexia Cornwall has, for over 30 years, provided a free volunteer-led Information, Advice and Guidance service. This service is delivered through a helpline, website, social media and community events.  The charity support adults and young people with dyslexia and other neurodiversities, their families/parents, employers, educators and the wider community, living in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly.  Dyslexia Cornwall works closely with the local authority, schools, training providers, Jobcentres, employers & the wider voluntary sector.

Chairperson Barbara Hewett-Silk said” We are delighted that The National Lottery Community Fund has recognised our work in this way.  Now, thanks to National Lottery players Dyslexia Cornwall will be able to continue to provide our current services and develop a subsidised adult screening and mentoring service over the next year.  As a charity we rely on grants like this to continue our services supporting people and raising awareness of the impact neurodivergence has on their lives and work.”
