BAME CONNECT

Tackling inequalities by empowering, educating and connecting

What is BAME Connect

The BAME Connect Programme is dedicated to improving health, wellbeing, and community life by tackling inequalities and creating opportunities for meaningful participation. We provide a safe, welcoming space where people from diverse backgrounds can come together, share experiences, and strengthen their sense of belonging.

Through a variety of activities, we focus on reducing isolation, building skills, and empowering individuals and families to play an active role in their community.

Our programme includes:

Coffee & Connect Mornings – Informal gatherings to reduce loneliness, share support, and build confidence in community participation.
Health & Wellbeing Workshops – Practical sessions designed to improve physical and mental health, increase awareness, and tackle health inequalities.
Apna Baagh: Families Growing Together – A community gardening project that promotes healthier lifestyles, intergenerational learning, and shared responsibility.
Cultural & Community Events – Celebrations and activities that embrace diversity, strengthen relationships, and encourage wider civic participation.
Exercise & Social Activities – Walking groups, fitness sessions, and wellbeing challenges that support healthier, more active lifestyles for all.

“By breaking down barriers, strengthening community voice, and nurturing participation, we are working towards a future where every individual feels valued, represented, and able to thrive.”
