Company activities and impact

BAME HUB-UK Network C.I.C. is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving communication between ethnic minority communities and the wider UK society. During the financial year 2023-2024, BAME HUB-UK undertook a range of activities that directly benefited the community: Youth Empowerment: The Young People Capacity Building Project (YPCBP) provided over 370 young people with essential skills such as leadership, financial literacy, and mental health awareness. These efforts helped reduce antisocial behaviour and improved their employability, with many participants securing jobs or internships. Economic Empowerment: Through workshops aimed at enhancing financial literacy, over 500 individuals received training on budgeting, saving, and job search strategies. This resulted in 40 job placements and several internship opportunities for individuals from marginalized communities. Cultural Competency & Community Engagement: BAME HUB-UK facilitated 36 training sessions to improve cultural understanding among service providers. Additionally, over 3,200 participants attended community social events, promoting social cohesion and cultural exchange and reducing social isolation. These events fostered connections across communities, enhancing inclusion. Mental Health Support & Awareness: Over 1,350 individuals participated in mental health workshops that addressed stress management, addiction recovery, and well-being, with many reporting improved mental health and increased confidence in seeking help. Immigration & Asylum Support: BAME HUB-UK provided crucial support to 87 individuals navigating the immigration system, helping them access resources needed for better integration and understanding of their rights. Crime Prevention & Community Safety: BAME HUB-UK engaged 180 participants in workshops addressing knife crime, drug trafficking, and community policing. These sessions promoted crime prevention and encouraged stronger relationships between communities and law enforcement. Feeding Programs: Over 600 meals were provided to individuals facing food insecurity, connecting them to additional services, such as housing support and legal aid. These activities reflect our commitment to improving the social, economic, and mental well-being of ethnic minority communities and advancing social cohesion across diverse cultural backgrounds.

Consultation with stakeholders

BAME HUB-UK Network C.I.C. actively engages a wide and diverse range of stakeholders, who are integral to our mission of promoting social cohesion and addressing systemic inequalities. Our stakeholders include: Ethnic Minority Communities: We serve members of the Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities, including individuals from African nations such as Nigeria, Kenya, Sudan, Somalia, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, and more. Refugees, asylum seekers, immigrants, and their families are actively involved in our programs, benefiting from our community-building efforts, social events, and workshops. Community and Professional Partners: Our collaboration extends to local government offices, schools, universities, health services, law enforcement agencies, and other community organizations. We also work closely with businesses that provide resources and community partnerships, contributing to the success of our programs. Funders and Donors: The success of BAME HUB-UK’s initiatives is supported by individual donors, ticketed events, schools, fundraising activities, and grants from community funders. These contributions allow us to sustain and expand our programs for the benefit of marginalized groups. Internal Stakeholders: Our team includes executive directors, volunteers, part-time staff, and board members who play a crucial role in driving our mission forward. Their dedication, expertise, and passion ensure that BAME HUB-UK operates efficiently and effectively, delivering positive outcomes for the communities we serve. Regular Stakeholder Engagement and Feedback Mechanisms We maintain continuous dialogue with our stakeholders through regular meetings and consultations, ensuring their input guides the direction of our projects. After each funded project, we establish a steering group that evaluates the outcomes and gathers feedback from participants. This enables us to assess our impact and make improvements where necessary. To enhance our responsiveness, we utilize several feedback mechanisms: Feedback forms distributed during workshops and events. Surveys and questionnaires sent to service users, partners, and funders. One-on-one discussions with stakeholders to gain deeper insights into their experiences. These tools allow us to collect essential data that helps refine our approach, ensuring our initiatives continue to meet the evolving needs of our communities. Continuous Improvement and Alignment with Our Mission The feedback we receive helps align our projects with our broader mission of empowering BAME communities and fostering social cohesion. By listening to our stakeholders, we can identify gaps in services and improve future projects to ensure their success. This ongoing consultation process is crucial in keeping our work relevant, impactful, and focused on creating a more inclusive society. We are committed to incorporating stakeholder input into our planning and delivery processes, allowing us to continuously improve and innovate. Together with our stakeholders, we aim to empower BAME communities across the UK and promote long-term, sustainable change.
