Celebrating diversity, challenging discrimination and changing attitudes in North Devon.
Sunrise Diversity is a dynamic grassroots community organisation providing activities, training, services and events for all living in North Devon. That includes those of diverse identities such as minority ethnic groups, disabled people, and the LGBTQ+ community.
Our aim is for all people in northern Devon to be accepted and respected for their individual humanity within a truly inclusive, supportive and welcoming community. We’re passionate about challenging and transforming prejudice, discrimination and abusive practices so everyone feels safe, included and valued.

We provide practitioner-led workshops and training tailored for professionals and community members working with diverse groups, including migrants, refugees, people of colour, and the LGBTQ+ community. Our sessions are engaging, practical, flexible, and affordable, with reduced rates for partner organisations.

Some kind words from some amazing people
“Sunrise is a place where you always want to return and bask in the rays of understanding, development, respect, love and care. My English has grown many times thanks to your threads, I am grateful to you for filling my emptiness with your warmth.”
“It’s an absolutely brilliant service for people like me and my son. I feel incredibly supported and truly happy. The help we’ve received has made such a positive difference in our lives. I’m in such a different, better place compared to last summer, and I am for the ongoing support from Sunrise.”
“The fantastic service that you have given me and my children will always be appreciated and remembered. I wish that there were more people who would support Sunrise Diversity as it is amazing how this charity works and gives people a chance to change their life for the better and to have a brand new beautiful life and I am living proof.”
