What are Local Dyslexia Hubs?

This project is a response to gaps in local dyslexia support around the UK and people asking for an 'in person' offer from the BDA. We want to hear from the dyslexia community and together design effective services that they want and need.

Local Dyslexia Hubs are a community, not a place.

A Local Dyslexia Hub is all about the people! Organisations, businesses and community groups joining forces with our BDA volunteers to provide help and support to those with dyslexia. There is no physical base, we will be working with local organisations to use suitable venues for each service the hub offers.

We want to inform, support and empower adults with dyslexia and those who support dyslexic children, including their families, carers and educators.

We aim to help people understand current best practices for dyslexia support for people of all ages in education, work and life in general.

Local Dyslexia Hubs will help people connect with others with similar experiences, in their local area. People will learn from each other, learn more about themselves

The end goal is a stronger dyslexia community, lasting change in organisations and individuals who can overcome barriers and have better lives.

Get involved

Take the survey - we are asking the community to share their views and get involved. We're also seeking input and partnership from organisations that can help widen our reach to children and adults with dyslexia.

Once our pilot Hubs are up and running we will expand the project to a wider network of Local Hubs where there are gaps in provision. For existing local area support from Local Dyslexia Associations in England and Wales, click here.
