DCT (Divine Communications Trust) is the brainchild of Viv Oyolu, and is a registered Social Enterprise. We create education resources and programmes that give young people from disadvantaged backgrounds the tools to improve their life chances. Our vision is to make a difference through our programmes and leave a long term positive imprint.
The Bina programme – This is a Key Stage 3 PSHE resource for 11-13 year olds designed to improve critical thinking, literacy and communication skills. Through the use of graphic illustrated stories around six themes, the programme focuses on building young people’s knowledge and confidence so they can make informed choices, and lead healthy, safe, responsible and fulfilled lives.

Young Fathers Mentoring Scheme – Matches London-based young fathers between the ages of 18 – 25, with professional and business men who will act as positive role models. The scheme aims to raise aspirations of young fathers. Read more: Young fathers mentoring scheme.
Shaping Attitudes for the workplace – supports 16-19 year olds starting work placements and apprenticeships on how to manage relationships and behaviour in the workplace so they can have a positive experience. We run sessions in Further Education and Sixth Form Colleges; local authorities and other organisations. Read more: Shaping Attitudes
As a social enterprise we operate like a business, but with social aims; which means we will reinvest all profit back into the business, and or invest in other projects inline with our mission to transform individuals, families and society.
We aim to be sustainable by generating profits from the sale of Bina programme toolkit and delivery of the Shaping Attitudes for the workplace; which will support the Young Fathers Mentoring scheme.
We look forward to working in partnership with:
- Individuals
- Groups
- Secondary Schools
- Pupil Referal Units (PRUs)
- Further Education (FE) and Sixth Form Colleges
- Local authorities
- Corporate and other similar organisations
