About Radiant And Brighter
We are committed to working for change within our communities.
Radiant And Brighter Description
Radiant and Brighter Community Interest Company is an award winning company which was founded by Micheal and Pheona Matovu in 2014 following their lived experience of the challenges of migrants in Scotland. Awards include; CEMVO Employability Impact Award 2014, The Evening Times Community Award 2015, Marks and Spencer Partnership Award 2016, and The African Challenge Ethnic Minority Impact Award 2017.
The Radiant and Brighter approach applies insights gained by the founders on their own journey to integrate in the Scottish society and the needs of the growing Minority Ethnic communities in Scotland. A key element of the organisation is to deliver greater societal integration, inclusion and economic participation through education, inspiration and changing perceptions; supporting organisations to understand diversity and individuals to utilise their skills and talent to the full.
In November 2016 Radiant and Brighter became part of the newly established Social Innovation Partnership with the Scottish Government (Social Justice Directorate) and The Hunter Foundation. This Partnership aims to promote collaboration between social entrepreneurs, statutory agencies and independent funders to challenge and disrupt existing systems in order to tackle poverty and inequalities.
The organisation also partners with a range of expert organisations and a voluntary team of highly experienced individuals from recognised businesses and minority ethnic communities. Partners include; Marks & Spencer, Centrestage, The Wise Group, Adopt An Intern, The Royal Conservatoire Scotland, Nneoma Women’s Group and Baseline360. Supporters and sponsors also include, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Latta and Co Solicitors, Growbiz Perthshire, Chamber of Commerce, and Women’s Enterprise Scotland.
Radiant and Brighter’s innovative and inclusive practices have resulted in a trustworthy relationship with local communities, organisations and businesses also featuring in the Scottish Entrepreneurship Government paper as a good practice case study.

What an experience it was to be at The Scottish Parliament on Wednesday to attend the Cross Party Group with Women's Enterprise Scotland about barriers women face in business which was a real education.
We were back at Scottish Parliament on the Thursday with some of our Ambassadors, Women’s Enterprise Scotland and Mbikudi to watch the International Women’s Day debate where Radiant and Brighter’s experiences from the previous day were discussed by MSP’s.
