Inspiring the next generation of leaders
African & Caribbean Diversity (ACD or ACDiversity), est. 1990, is a charity focussed on improving the academic attainment, career prospects and social mobility of black students, aged 14 – 18, from London state schools. The charity offers an array of enrichment programmes, from residential summer schools at the University of Cambridge to one-to-one mentoring with working professionals to black history seminars with academics, to mention just a few. Over the last 10 years, ACD has supported over 300 students
“All I can say is ACD helped build my character. Being part of the scheme is like having a second family, where Brenda, the chief executive, is your mother and the students and mentors are your brothers and sisters. Your family’s job is to be your backbone, to help you and guide you through life. This is exactly what ACD is about.”
