Foundation Nova Diem
Everyone has strengths. We help people find theirs.
A strengths-first charity for disadvantaged and neurodiverse communities.
Foundation Nova Diem works with disadvantaged and neurodiverse communities to uncover strengths that too often go unseen. Lux, our strengths-first assessment, and Lumen, the secure platform that runs it, are the tools we've built to help people understand their own potential, and to help the people supporting them see it too.
Who this is for
People too often defined by what's wrong, not what's possible
The people we work with are often used to being described by deficits: a diagnosis, a risk label, a threshold they don't meet. Disadvantaged and neurodiverse communities in particular carry that weight at school, at work, and in the systems meant to support them.
Foundation Nova Diem exists to change that starting point. We work with participants directly, and with the professionals, educators and organisations supporting them, to help everyone involved see strengths and potential first.
Your support helps us reach more people, and keep proving, not just claiming, that this work makes a real difference.
Support our workHow it connects
Lux, the assessment. Lumen, the platform behind it.
Lux turns a person's responses into a strengths-first profile, written in language suited to reflection and conversation rather than judgement. Lumen is the secure platform that runs Lux, keeping consent, governance and reporting connected end to end.

Clear about where the evidence stands
Lux is moving through an active, staged evidence-development programme. We publish what current evidence supports, state the limits plainly, and strengthen our claims only when the evidence backs it up.
