Working in partnership towards an inclusive multi-cultural society based on equality and respect for all.
The Multicultural Forum is an unincorporated charity; an
“umbrella” organisation that represents all the black and
minority ethnic community groups and organisations that
have organised themselves with constitutions, missions and
visions. Research and first hand front line experience
has defined its vision for growth and infrastructure support
and the BMF are ready to support the BME communities with
infrastructure support,
development work and capacity building. The BMF have
also built strong relationships with many other service
providers and agencies, assisting them to access the minority
communities so that they can understand their needs and be
appropriately responsive.
With a large membership which currently includes 27 BME
community organizations, the BMF have been successful in
engaging individuals and groups in awareness raising and
celebrations through events and consultations.We have built a
good reputation amongst the BME communities and we have the
full market share in them looking to us for
support.
There is recognition in the vital role played by the voluntary
and community sector (VCS) in delivering high quality public
services and in contributing to civic renewal.
Additionally, the recognition of the need for specialist ISO's
to address inequalities. The Multicultural Forum are
best placed to build the capacity and facilitate the
engagement of the BME communities we serve and will work to
ensure the infrastructure becomes robust and fit for purpose
and serve the communities through collaborative partnership
and needs based appropriate service provision.
Come and discuss the projects we are involved in, we would
love to hear from you.
If your organization or community are interested in promoting
the above and can offer some assistance in taking these
objectives further or would just like to find out more about
the forum please contact us.
