Hi all hope you are all well out there in the real world.
My organisation Dyslexia Pathways CIC (Community Interest Company) is a registered social enterprise and company limited by guarantee. In June of this year we will be celebrating our sixth year in business.
Four or our six directors are dyslexic and the other two is a parent with dyslexic kid and a partner with a dyslexic partner. That's my wife Anne by the way who might want to add I am a big kid myself lol.
In about a weeks time we will be opening a little competition for young dyslexics do design a dyslexia positive logo. We will ask our followers to choose a winner from the entrants to select a winner and the winner's design will be used as part of our Unique Dyslexic Campaign. They will receive a tee shirt with their logo on it.
I have just posted basic concept ideas for tee shirt logo designs for the Unique Dyslexic Campaign on Pinterest. I just want to get some feedback from my directors before I post them in my blog so that you can select the best two or three for use with the Unique Dyslexic Crowdfunding campaign.
News on the #uniquedyslexic crowd funding is that its not going as well as I / we would have liked. We have been promoting it like crazy getting loads of likes and shares but as of yet 9 contributions. Still plenty of time to go though. I know times are difficult for most of us, there is the election and then the disaster in Nepal.
But if you could contribute just £1 or $5 or what you can afford to give it would help us reach our total. We are giving away rewards of a mention on our social media or Unique Dyslexic badges or a Unique Dyslexic tee shirt.
Its easy to contribute by credit or debit card or by Paypal. Just go to our Unique Dyslexic Indiegogo crowd funding page. On the right have side of the page you can enter the amount you would like to donate in any currency and press enter....easy done.

We at Dyslexia Pathways CIC and through our Unique Dyslexic campaign promote dyslexia and a difference that represents the diversity inherent within humanity. Our message is neuro diversity is as vital as biodiversity.
Where would we be with out dyslexic scientists, writers, architects, entrepreneurs, inventors and performers etc?
We want all dyslexics to be able to advocate for a more positive image of dyslexia, One that focusses on what we do well and that s what this Unique Dyslexic Crowdfunding appeal is about. Its about enabling us to take positive steps forward for dyslexic everywhere.
Many thanks for reading
