The Roger Diamond Foundation (RDF)
Founded in 2019, The Roger Diamond Foundation (RDF) is a constituted community based not-for-profit educational charity. Currently and since 2019 the RDF is administered solely by volunteers.
After much consultation and ongoing conversations with parents, community leaders, volunteers and educational experts, RDF has been promoting not-for-profit: tuition, classes, discussion groups and other educational services, especially tailored to help children and young people (and also their parents), in deprived or challenged communities.
Our mission is that more children will be the best they can be, and more are less likely to do poorly at school or get involved in anti-social behaviour, gang crime or youth-on-youth knife/gun crime etc.
The services we run or promote include superb reading and writing classes and other high quality courses, that can lead to better opportunities and improved wellbeing in general.
We sometimes organise events, debates, workshops and various productions for the public, parents, volunteers and our members. These promote further awareness, research and discussion on parenting, relevant aspects of diverse ethnic history and culture - as well as the many challenges teenagers, children and families of diverse or minority ethnicity often face.
