We help black female, LGBTQ+ and non-binary people in London reduce the effects of poverty and gentrification ​in their local communities. 

About us

We believe that black women, black LGBTQ+ and black non-binary people are central to the future of the black community. So we've decided to do everything we can to ensure that black women and non-binary black people are supported to build social activism projects for the benefit of local black communities in London. Currently,
  • 48% of black people in the UK think they can affect decision making in their local area (higher than any other racial demographic).
  • 8% of black people in the UK take part in local decision making. 
  • 25% of black people in the UK volunteer at least once a month (the highest rate for any racial demographic).
​We are empowering the passion and drive that already exists in the black community by giving black women the skills, connections and resources to build projects that will support the 55% of black people that are on benefits, and the 40% of black people that are living in poverty.

Hi!!! I'm here to get the word out there about the great things you're doing in your community. DM me on our Instagram if you have a story to share ;)

​Together, we work with London boroughs, local charities and social enterprises, community centres, and other key  local organisations to ensure that the people that take part in our programs are supported before, during and after their engagement with us. 

How we work


​Our programs are specific to each borough. It's where we give each member access to campaigners  social activists, leaders of charities and CEOs of social enterprises so they can learn how to better serve their communities.

​Our expert led webinars bring together our community of leaders and activists to share their knowledge, talk about challenges and develop new ways to tackle similar problems in the future. It's a great way to learn new things.

​Our newsletter is where we share key opportunities and resources with our members. It's also where they share everything from volunteering opportunities, funding calls and interesting articles to community requests.
