History
The Dore Programme was first introduced in the UK in 2001 and since that time has helped thousands of children and adults to tackle their learning difficulties.
The Programme was created by Wynford Dore, who desperately sought a solution to his daughter’s life-long struggle with dyslexia. With the help of Dr Roy Rutherford and other leading medical experts, a drug-free programme of physical exercises emerged. The aim of which was to improve the efficiency of the cerebellum (the brain’s skill development centre) and consequently the ability to learn.
The Dore Programme grew in size and its success in the UK led to demand for the Programme in other regions. As a consequence a number franchises were set up in other locations such as North America, South Africa, Hong Kong and New Zealand.
Unfortunately, in 2008 the UK business ran into problems associated with expanding too rapidly. However, the rights to the Programme were acquired in 2009 by Dynevor CIC, whose management team included Scott Quinnell, the former Wales and British Lions rugby player and Sky TV commentator. Scott himself had been through the Programme and had seen first-hand the impact it was having on hundreds of people’s lives, as well as his own life. Two of his children have also undertaken the Dore Programme.
Since 2009 Dynevor has helped many more people with learning difficulties and has continued to develop the Programme with the ultimate aim of making it more widely applicable and accessible.
