A donation can make a meaningful difference to individuals who are unable to afford the specialist support they need. By contributing through the Gloucestershire Dyslexia Association (GDA), you help ensure that more people can access professional assessments and tuition that can transform their learning and confidence.
The GDA provides financial assistance on a case-by-case basis, taking into account individual circumstances and the funds available at the time of application. As the charity does not receive regular funding, bursaries are made possible solely through donations and fundraising activities.
Your support helps GDA continue its work in making dyslexia support accessible to everyone who needs it.
Also coming soon…
The dyslexia hub: funded dyslexia training and assistive technology for schools and their dyslexic students.

They said it couldn’t be done.
And who could blame them? How could you bridge such an enormous chasm, the untouchable Avon Gorge?
Standing at the edge of the Clifton Downs, it’s easy to imagine the vast shards of ice carving their way through the rock, laying bare the layers of the past and irreversibly changing the landscape.
Down in the base of the valley, cars race past one another carrying the disproportionate weight of passions and fears on their backs, like armies of ants, miracles of matter, all bound to fall in the end (Barlow, Gary :).
And suspended high above them, silken threads of iron and steel, spun together, engineering as art, answering with clear, unobstructed, determination and defiance:
it can be done!
