Hi blog readers welcome to my latest dyslexia blog. I hope you are all well and prepared for the next few busy days ahead. Todays blog is all about the future and our plans to diversify what we currently offer.
NEW SHOP:
Our new online shop will be opening this week We are hoping this is the start of a new era for Dyslexia Pathways CIC. Some of you will already know we were the first dyslexia focussed social enterprise in the world.
A social enterprise means we have to have social aims and our over arching social aim is to support and promote the dyslexic and other neuro difference communities. But in order to achieve our social aims we have to bring in our own income through our business and enterprise work.
The idea behind the tee shirts is to enable dyslexics and people from other neuro different communities to advocate for a more positive profile of dyslexia and neuro difference. At Dyslexia Pathways CIC we believe that:
that #dyslexia is a difference that reflects #diversity
that #neurodiversity is as important as #biodiversity.
Below is a link to our new online shop, please feel free to visit and if you like what you see please buy. Please give any feed back you have positive and negative. There are also images of the tees themselves that come in a variety of colours, sizes and men, women and child models.
HEALTHY WORKING LIVES:
In 2016 we will be working in partnership with Healthy Working Lives in Fife to deliver dyslexia awareness training and other dyslexia services to business, organisations and individuals in Fife. This is a new programme for us and hope this may be the start expanding our business.
I have got to update our Dyslexia Pathways CIC site to start promoting this new programme.

We are having quite a big Christmas day doo this year. 18 members of the family will be coming for dinner so its going to be a busy day.
My thoughts go out to all those who, for what ever reason, will be struggling over the Christmas period. Lets hope 2016 will be a better year for everyone.
