We are Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) HUB-UK NETWORK C.I.C. a non-profit organisation for BAME communities living in the UK and their friends who are non BAME. We are a one-stop shop across the UK united under one umbrella, in our dedication to the BAME Communities’ empowerment. We are supporting people to foster unity and understanding between diverse cultures and to deal with issues arising from misunderstandings and systemic inequalities. BAME HUB-UK C.I.C can be used to act as a focal point in discuss and disseminating the issues that arise from the BAME community and the UK government as large.

Our Mission is to bridge the gap and improve communication between the UK mainstream and BAME communities.
Our vision is to empower and equip BAME communities and their families with skills to be self-sufficient that help them avoid pitfalls associated with lack of empowerment and/or information. This will improve their social standing by being more cohesive, socially, and economically within the British Society as they build their lives in the UK
