Dear All

I trust that you are well.  Please see below two important items for your summer / holiday reading:

Commission on Integration and Cohesion report

Following an extensive consultation process, the Commission's work has come to an end, and its final report, ‘Our Shared Future’, was published on the 14th June 2007. The Commission considered how local areas can make the most of diversity while being able to respond to the tensions it may cause. See the latest update on the Commission’s work

The Corporate Goat

Diversiton’s Equality 2007 project on hunger is now producing results that are changing lives in Ghana and Madagascar.  Working with the newly created Corporate Goat team Diversiton and its partners have supported a range of projects.  Check out their work and see how you can build a primary school for £5,000.

As well as this here are a few Diversiton developments to note….
