Why become a member?

Discover a supportive and reliable community! Whether you’re navigating life with dyslexia or supporting someone who is, we provide resources, events, and a network of understanding individuals to help you thrive. Together, we celebrate neurodiverse strengths and create a space where everyone feels empowered and valued. 

Become a part of our support group

The support group has been meeting monthly for over 25 years. It was set up by  Eileen Harwood and with her recent passing, is now in the hands of dedicated trustees and members.  The group meets  the second Tuesday of every month. 

It was set up as a safe place for adults with dyslexia to come and share their experiences and struggles with dyslexia and also to help uplift and support each other.

If you need any help or support please email info@dyslexialondon.org with your concerns.

Your support allows us to deliver essential projects year-round, offering vital information through our website, social media, and support groups. These resources are tailored for individuals newly diagnosed with dyslexia or those facing challenges in work or higher education, providing guidance and community during critical moments.
