We're a small user-led charity that supports people in Manchester who face exclusion because of their immigration status, class, age, cultural inexperience and education.
We work closely with the communities and people that access our projects to create inspiring experiences and opportunities. Together, we break down barriers and fears so they can integrate fully into society and have a better quality of life.
Afrocats work in partnership with funders, sponsors, donors and a range of organisations to support our vision to build a stronger, more inclusive environment for the people we represent.
Our approach
SUPPORT
We work with children and young people from lower-income backgrounds so they have better access to out-of-school learning and activities that will build their confidence, skill set and sense of belonging.
EMPOWER
Economically disadvantaged families and individuals can develop their skills and social networks with us, broadening their horizons through access to workshops and volunteering opportunities to gain vital employment skills.
ENGAGE
We challenge stereotypes around culture and immigration in a supportive and safe environment to help create a more positive narrative and understanding in society.
