We achieve our aims and objectives by:

• Running education and skills workshop and training sessions.
• Counselling and emotional support services
• Using outreach interventions to distribute information, resources such as; leaflets, posters, booklets and condoms, in community settings such as clubs, places of worship, faith groups, pubs, night clubs, food shops, hair salons, barbers and other community events.
• Advocacy services
• Trips and outings
• Referrals and signposting to appropriate support agencies.
• We provide Interpretation and translation services at service delivery points such as GP surgeries, Hospitals, Housing, Social Care services, Benefit offices etc. to improve communication between the user and service providers.
• Running volunteer programmes to assist in our work.
• Developing resources that are appropriate to our target group

Our values:

• Commitment to equal opportunities for all
• To be a caring, professional, responsive and user-orientated organisation
• Partnership with key stakeholders
• High standards of management and service delivery
• Care services to suit the African communities’ needs
• Empowerment of volunteers

Project beneficiaries:

Our target beneficiaries are women and teenagers from BME communities focusing on African communities. We also include men and young boys where we feel their involvement will improve the impact of our work. We feel empowering the women and young girls are important because most women in the African community are vulnerable.
