We are proud to share that Distinctive Solutions CIC was awarded a Community Research Networks Fund grant, supported by UK Research and Innovation and The Young Foundation. We worked with other organisations for one year to support young people with SEND. This recognition reflects our commitment to collaborate with other organisation to make a difference in communities where it is needed. We begun community-led research and inclusive development by holding a meeting in the University of East London (UEL) for organisations and parents who are supporting young people to find out their needs.
Many women arrive at our sessions carrying years of self-doubt shaped by workplace experiences, caring responsibilities, and societal expectations. Through coaching-style conversations grounded in Gestalt and Solution-Focused approaches, we create a safe space for women to reconnect with their strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and take ownership of their next steps — without being told what to do.
