Good morning from Glenrothes in Fife Scotland. Hope everyone out there in blog land are keeping well. The sun is streaming through the window here. Might get out there and mow the front garden later this morning.
The big news for us is the launch of the Unique Dyslexic Crowd funding appeal on Monday. The basic idea is the enable dyslexics themselves to advocate for a more positive profile of dyslexia based around the social model of dyslexia.
We say that dyslexia is a difference that reflects the diversity inherent within humanity. I think we have to remember the world be a poorer place if it were not for dyslexic vision, ingenuity, problems solving abilities, creativity, empathy and entrepreneurship.
#vivaladifference #uniquedyslexic
The money raised from this appeal will be used to:
- Pay for a graphic designer to professionally realise 'positive message' logo designs for the tee shirts.
- Pay for the tee shirts and printing ready for sale.
- Sell the tee shirts through our social media.
- To utilise monies earned from the tee shirts to design and print more tee shirts and other items.
- We will also be asking dyslexics who follow our social media to send in their own designs for tee shirt logos. One of which could be used as part of this campaign.
If we manage to raise any money over out target it will be used to help us achieve our goal of opening a new dyslexia centre here in Fife. One that will focus on dyslexia and creativity, dyslexia and supporting dyslexics here in Fife and be totally environmentally friendly.
Below is a link that will give you a preview of the campaign:

Good morning all. Today sees the launch of our Unique Dyslexic Crowd funding appeal. Some of you may already know that Unique Dyslexic is a Dyslexia Pathways CIC project. Dyslexia Pathways were probably the first dyslexia focussed community interest company social enterprise in the world.
ReplyDeleteWe promote dyslexia in terms of a difference that reflect the diversity inherent within humanity. The world would be a poorer place if it were not for dyslexic creativity, ingenuity, empathy and dyslexic entrepreneurs etc. We have made positive contributions to the whole of society in fact only most of us do not hear about them.
Anyway here is a link to our appeal

Please share it if you can or better still contribute and enable us achieve our target. Either way we thank you just for taking the time to read this blog.
