Adult Literacy Trust

The Adult Literacy Trust, or ALT, provides adults the opportunity to break the cycle of exclusion and poor literacy by providing personalised tutoring in basic reading skills, delivered through a network of skilled volunteers. Through one-to-one instruction, the charity is dedicated to ensuring that individuals who wish to improve their literacy skills receive the help they need to become successful readers, and to increase their life chances. When adults learn to read, it better prepares them to live out their roles in the community as parents, workers and citizens. Teaching an adult to read can have a profound and lasting impact on their ability to function successfully within society, by improving their ability to find and retain decent-paying jobs, actively engage in community activities, and help informed decisions that can ensure healthy lives. ALT's mission is to recruit and train volunteer tutors who provide instruction to adults in reading, targeting the staggering number of adults in the UK who have poor literacy, lacking basic skills beyond primary school level or less. Individual tuition is provided to adult students, free of charge. The organisation works with a number of teaching institutions, as well as local authorities and libraries, to source adult learners who can benefit from reading tuition.

Bloody Good Period

We fight for menstrual equity and the rights of all women and people who bleed, so that no one is held back by their period or society's warped perception of the menstruating body. Our work falls into four main areas: - We give period products to those who can't afford or access them - We provide menstrual education - We help everybody talk about periods - We campaign so that we don't have to exist in the long-term. BGP started in 2016 as a collection of period products for refugee drop-in centres, when our founder recognised that many refugees and others living in poverty simply cannot afford these essential items. Additionally people who menstruate suffer because of the culture of embarrassment and shame that exists around this entirely natural, normal process. Since then, we've provided >300K packs of products to 100+ partners across England and Wales, including food banks, community groups and refugee support charities, and are now meeting record levels of demand. 24% of people who menstruate in the UK say they or their family have struggled to afford period products in the last year. In 2022 we distributed 87% more products than the prior year. We also run menstrual health education sessions for refugees, who are typically unable to access this vital information. Bloody Good Education reached 113 people last year and every single one of them stated that the sessions were useful, with many asking for more sessions. We work to normalise periods for everyone, so that we can all access the information, support and products we need. This includes our workplace training and accreditation programme, Bloody Good Employers, which works to improve corporate communications, culture and policies around periods. We are lobbying for long-term systemic change so that the need for period products isn't filled by a small charity, reliant on the goodwill of donors. We are currently working with our Experts by Experience forum, made up of people with lived experience of period poverty, refugee status and seeking, asylum, to shape our campaigning plans for 2023. Our ultimate vision is a world built for people who menstruate, so that everybody benefits.

Not A Phase

Supporting the lives of trans+ adults across the UK is the core message of Not a Phase, a small charity that is working towards a brighter future for the trans+ community. Through awareness campaigning, developing company diversity strategies and supporting trans+ owned business and projects with financial and material investment, Not A Phase aims to bridge the gaps that the trans+ and gender nonconforming community too often fall between. The funds raised for Not a Phase not only go into these projects but also support the peer support groups being rolled out across the country later this year, aiming to give a regular safe space for trans+ adults to meet, learn and grow.

Ballet Black

Ballet Black was founded in 2001 with a mission to make a fundamental change in the diversity of mainstream classical ballet - on stage, behind the scenes, and among audiences & participants. We recognise the importance of providing visible, diverse role models in ballet. Our professional company is made up of eight dancers of Black and Asian descent from around the world. We create award-winning new work that is bold and distinctive, both live and on film, that tours the UK and internationally. We also develop talent at the early stages of ballet through our subsidised Junior School & Associate Programme, providing professionally taught ballet classes led by teachers of diverse heritage to children and young people aged 3 to 18. Our Junior Associate Programme is designed to support and inspire girls and young women aged 12 to 16 during the crucial pre-vocational stage of ballet training. This cements our commitment to reaching a critical mass of young people for whom the artform of ballet has historically been closed and is part of our contribution to diversifying ballet in the UK. We challenge perceptions in ballet, promote greater inclusion in dance training, and are growing audience diversity for ballet and the wider dance sector across the UK. We are also playing a vital role in advocating wider societal change through our industry-changing collaborations, such as working with Freed of London to create the first UK made pointe shoes for Black, Asian, and culturally diverse dancers.
