Dynamic Wheel
A Community to
Learn Earn & Belong
About
DW is a community shaped together with people whose experiences of adversity help build new opportunities and belonging.
DW Community Programmes
Our programmes take a strengths-based approach, valuing each person’s experiences and unique strengths. All DW programmes are led by peer facilitators who draw on their own lived experience to truly understand and support others.
DW's commitment is to develop peer-led community programmes that remove barriers for people with lived experience to Learn, Earn and Belong.
Values
DW will embrace a culture of human innovation, founded on its deeply held belief in the human spirit to bring about positive changes in people’s own lives and the lives of others.

Purpose
Even when people face life-changing challenges, whether that’s with psychological health and well-being, a criminal record, problems with drugs or alcohol, or homelessness, those lived experiences can shape powerful human qualities.These strengths can make a real difference: helping people, communities, and services tackle everyday challenges, and breaking down the barriers that so often stand in the way of finding our purpose and a sense of belonging.
Dynamic Wheel is a not-for-profit community enterprise (CIC) based in Stirling and supporting people across Clackmannanshire, Stirling, and Falkirk.Co-designed with people who have lived experience, we believe everyone has strengths, talents, and potential, and our asset-focused approach helps bring those to life. By working together, we create opportunities to connect, grow, and thrive as a DW community.
