About this cause

We are an organization which provides community assistance and helps facilitate groups. As a community centre we host many different groups. We provide rooms and support to these groups, based around their individual needs. This ranges from Disability Direct, a Nottingham based charity who hold a coffee morning that provides benefits advice and runs a volunteer project to help the local community, to a number of minority groups. These include an Bangladeshi group, an Italian group, 2 ladies Quran classes, & a SGI-UK Buddhist group. It is our objective to bring these groups together to celebrate each others culture and help provide people with a better understanding of the changing diversity of our local community. We feel a more cohesive approach would benefit the local community.

How this cause brings people in the community together

By giving people a better understanding of other cultures, with this cohesive approach, we feel the community would benefit greatly. Knowledge of cultural differences would give communities greater tolerance, but also an understanding of how they can work better together. Lots of groups that are set up are usually insular so giving them the opportunity to network would broaden horizons.
