Our Projects
Our projects are designed to improve the life opportunities for people in Kirklees. They are open to all, but with particular focus on people of South Asian heritage, who may face barriers in accessing mainstream services.
A not-for-profit social enterprise with a mission to help and support local people, we have built up the trust of the community over many years of service.
Our projects include
Media-based activities through Radio Sangam, Sangam Records and Sangam TV
Projects to promote mental wellbeing and improve physical health among the local community
Support services and helplines for vulnerable individuals experiencing domestic abuse, LGBTQ+ prejudice and other forms of discrimination and disadvantage
Education and training programmes for young people and adults, including free literacy, numeracy, IT and film-making classes, plus online and in-person workshops
We are grateful to the many funders and partners who have helped us to deliver these essential projects since 2007.
