NCBI Nottinghamshire challenges prejudice, tackles conflict and enables different groups to work together so that everyone has a voice. We believe that everyone is a leader and we train people from all backgrounds to lead with integrity in our diverse society. We do this through workshops, training, mentoring and specialist projects. We also deliver volunteer team trainings and work together to develop our own leadership and empower our own communities and organisations.
NCBI Nottinghamshire started out in 2004 with Nottingham resident, Cathy Meadows who wanted to bring the NCBI Welcoming Diversity model to the county. With support from other NCBI teams, including Royston John from NCBI London, she led the first Welcoming Diversity and Prejudice Reduction (WDPR) workshop in Sneinton, Nottingham. Since then NCBI Notts has grown and developed, setting up as a charitable company in 2007 with a current team of nine. We have worked with a variety of organisations and in the local community to teach NCBI skills, raise awareness, empower and work together to end discrimination in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
