Trade Union triumph

Congratulations to Steven Black of Dyslexia Scotland’s North East Branch who has won the STUC’s Helen Downie Award

Nuala Ashe, Regional Learning Organiser with Unite the Union, said: “The Learn with Unite team is immensely proud of Steven’s accomplishment in gaining this top accolade from the STUC. Through his volunteer roles as a Workplace and Learning Rep and Chair of the North East Branch of Dyslexia Scotland, Steven utilises his lived experience to champion neurodiversity within the workplace, the union movement, and the Aberdeen community, paving the way for a more inclusive Scotland. Well done, Steven.”

Steven said: “I hope that by receiving this, I have been able to encourage others who are neurodivergent to know that anything is possible and not be afraid to speak up and share their challenges with their employer and colleagues.”
