Patron - Baroness Bull
We are honoured that Baroness Bull has agreed to become a Patron for the Dyscalculia Network.
About Baroness Bull CBE
Appointed a life peer in 2018, she continues to help shape national conversations on culture, education, inequality, social justice and public life through strategic leadership and thoughtful advocacy.
Baroness Bull says of her work in support of the dyscalculia community:
It was a chance comment from a young relative, just a few years ago, that led me to learn about dyscalculia and the experience of people with dyscalculia in education, the workforce and in the everyday challenges of navigating a world dominated by numbers.
I know I am not alone in arriving so late at an awareness of dyscalculia and it has been a great privilege to work with the Dyscalculia Network and members of the dyscalculia community to help raise awareness and to challenge existing and emerging policy, both in the Lords and beyond. I look forward to continuing and extending that work in my new capacity as Patron for the Dyscalculia Network.
What does a Patron do?
A patron is a respected and often well-known individual who generously lends their name, voice, and credibility to support an organisation’s mission. By sharing their profile and passion, patrons help raise awareness, attract positive attention and shine a light on the cause.
They often help to open doors through their networks, connecting the organisation with supporters, partners and potential donors who might help the Dyscalculia Network achieve its aims and help to drive change for people with dyscalculia.
While patrons do not have legal or management responsibilities, they serve as valued honorary figureheads and may participate in special events, such as annual meetings or fundraising events, helping to build trust, confidence, and lasting support within the community.
