We are an engaged community

01+

Awareness of rights & services

Helping African and Black communities understand their rights and know what support already exists for them, so no one has to face a system they don't understand alone.

02+

Inclusive institutions

Supporting public, third and private sector organisations to build policies that lead to fair, equitable outcomes — and holding them accountable when they don't.

03+

A just and safe society

Working toward a Scotland where African and Black communities are treated fairly, safely, and with dignity as a matter of course — not the exception.

Justice+

Supporting the Sheku Bayoh Inquiry and pressing for accountability wherever African and Black communities are failed by public institutions.

Advocacy+

Speaking up for individuals and communities with councils, Police Scotland, the NHS and other public bodies — and helping people navigate those systems themselves.

Empowerment and wellbeing+

Mentoring, skills training and mental health signposting that help people build stability and confidence on their own terms.

Cultural and community engagement+

Festivals, town halls and cultural weeks that celebrate heritage and bring African, Black and wider Scottish communities together.

Creation of opportunities for young people+

The Youth Hub connects young people with mentoring, work experience and education pathways designed around them.
