CovDiversity

Serving Coventry since 2019

Building stronger, safer and more connected communities.

CovDiversity is a community organisation dedicated to promoting inclusion, equality and wellbeing. We work alongside individuals, families and communities by providing advocacy, education, community engagement and opportunities that help people feel supported, valued and connected.

Who we are

Everyone should feel welcomed, valued, and able to participate fully.

We work to reduce inequalities, strengthen families, and raise awareness of social issues — creating a community where every individual can live safely, participate fully, and achieve their potential, regardless of background.

Since 2019, we've grown alongside Coventry's communities — supporting more families, schools, universities, and organisations every year. Our commitment to advocacy, education, and cultural wellbeing keeps growing with the people we serve.

Hate crime awareness & training

Hate Crime Awareness: Recognise It. Report It. Respond to It.

Hate crime harms individuals and divides communities — yet it often goes unrecognised and unreported. Our first course gives you the knowledge and confidence to identify hate crime, to know how and where it can be reported, and to respond in a way that supports the people affected.

We also offer tailored training for service providers, agencies and frontline staff.
