“In our work at The Barber Shop, we've seen how the most breakthrough solutions come from the most unexpected places. There's a power in difference, but difference needs a chance - it needs access to tools, people, and sometimes just enough financial incentive to remove the fear of failure. The Different Foundation exists because true innovation happens when we stop seeing diversity as a nice-to-have and start recognising it as our competitive advantage”

- Dino Myers-Lamptey, Foundation Chair
