Become United Is A Charity, Led By Black Minority Ethnic (BME) People
Become United is a registered charity (1204327) dedicated to supporting marginalised communities in Greater Manchester. We focus on providing educational workshops, community projects, and tailored resources to help individuals overcome barriers and access essential services. Since our inception in June 2022, we have assisted over 1,000 people in improving their skills, mental health, and employment opportunities. Our initiatives aim to enhance digital and financial literacy, boost mental health, and increase job prospects for those in need.
Become United shall pursue this objective by:
- The provision of welfare and cultural support to members and service users.
- The provision of social and recreational activities for its beneficiaries and service users.
- Working with partner organisation to challenge any form of oppression which intersect with race, including but not limited to ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender and class.
- To act as a Greater Manchester by providing advice and assistance, and organising programmes of physical and educational benefit
- After realising the lack of BAMER individuals in leadership positions, the founding trustees realised the need for an organisation to empower individuals from BAMER backgrounds to realise their potential. We have met some wonderful individuals on this journey and hope to unlock the potential of many others on the way.
Our directors and trustees are esteemed local leaders with a diverse range of expertise and experience. They bring a wealth of knowledge from various fields, including community development, social justice, and nonprofit management. Their deep commitment to our mission and their understanding of the local context ensure that our strategies are both impactful and relevant. Together, they guide Become United with a shared vision of empowering and uplifting our communities.
