The Bourne Advantage
A pioneering movement uniting dyslexic students with the founders and brands that champion them.
Through meaningful offers, shared opportunities, and powerful storytelling, The Bourne Advantage celebrates what’s possible when dyslexic minds are given the space to thrive.
Building the bridge between education and enterprise.
We show them what’s possible.
Here’s the thing…
1 in 10 students in the UK are dyslexic.
Most will go through school feeling misunderstood or left behind.
Families spend over £1,000 a year on extra tuition, assessments, and support. They are paying a premium to nurture the minds the future depends on.
Over 30% of people in prison show signs of dyslexia. A devastating reminder of what happens when potential goes unrecognised.
And while 40% of entrepreneurs are dyslexic, 97% of people still see dyslexia as a disadvantage.
There’s currently no bridge between education and enterprise.
Between misunderstood potential and realised innovation.
Until now.
Businesses
A growing network of purpose-led brands redefining what it means to be neurodivergent in business.
Each brand featured within The Bourne Advantage Directory is committed to building the bridge between education and enterprise — helping families and students see that difference drives innovation.
These are the founders and organisations creating opportunities for dyslexic students and their families through offers, mentoring, and inspiration that reflect their values and purpose.
They stand among the leaders of inclusive entrepreneurship - the brands driving progress through creativity, difference, and vision.
This is where innovation aligns with inclusion.
Where purpose-led business becomes the new standard.
Where your child can see what’s possible when difference is recognised as an advantage.
“This isn’t hand holding.
It’s hand over. From one generation of different thinkers to the next..”
