Company activities and impact

Between June 2024 and May 2025, Amani Creatives C.I.C. delivered the Fumbo Heritage Project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The initiative explored and documented African naming traditions within African diaspora communities across Greater Manchester. Project activities included volunteer recruitment, oral history training, community interviews, translation sessions, partnership engagement, and exhibition development. Approximately 40 volunteers contributed a total of 483 hours, developing competencies in oral history recording, transcription, heritage interpretation, and event delivery. The project captured community narratives representing diverse African backgrounds and collaborated with key partners, including the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Education Trust, Manchester Central Library, and the National Museum of the Democratic Republic of Congo to ensure accurate interpretation and secure long-term archiving of materials. The public exhibition was launched at Manchester Central Library in October 2025 and was attended by 152 participants. In addition, the project generated paid employment opportunities for local artists and freelancers of African heritage, providing platforms to showcase their work to wider audiences. Overall, the project enhanced cultural pride, strengthened intergenerational connections, supported skills development, and improved the representation of African heritage within local archives and public cultural institutions.

Consultation with stakeholders

Stakeholders included African diaspora community members, volunteers, artists, partner organisations, heritage professionals, and members of the public. Consultation took place through meetings, workshops, interviews, evaluation forms, partnership discussions, and an external evaluation process. Feedback indicated increased knowledge of heritage, development of new skills, and strong community benefit. Many participants expressed interest in future involvement. Partner feedback highlighted effective communication, planning, and significant impact in sharing lesser-known histories with wider audiences. Visitor evaluations showed high satisfaction and improved understanding of African naming traditions. Feedback informed inclusive approaches, multilingual accessibility through translation, and the incorporation of creative activities for different age groups.
