The Council for Ethnic Minority Communities is a countywide support organisation specialising in supporting Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic groups in Northamptonshire and the East Midlands.
We offer a high quality of accessible services that reflect the needs of the local BAME sector; we supports community activities that builds bridges between communities in order to increase community cohesion and social capital & promote volunteering involving all sections of the community working together.
At CEMC, we strive to respond to the many differing needs of the communities focussing on race inequality and ensuring BAME groups have appropriate access to services which support their needs and lives being a minority within the County.
At present we are working on many projects as well as offering Voice, representation, lobbying, Training opportunities, sign posting, Capacity building, funding support, governance support and much, much more.
We have been supporting communities for 13 years now, and intend to be around longer…
