Our Multi-cultural Work
Multi-cultural Group’s work and how we do it:
- Promoting equality of opportunity in education and other public services to members of minority ethnic communities who live both in the Blackstaff area and beyond since our services attract women from across the city. Our strategic location between two major hospitals of Belfast and the University makes this possible.
- Addressing the security concerns that women from different backgrounds have in using our Centre, which is located in a historically troubled area. This aspect links positively into the general regeneration of the area which suffers from the negative imaging of its past.
- Offering an educational training programme suited to the particular needs of the minority ethnic women.
- An intensive personal approach to the delivery of various services such as guidance on educational courses, childcare, health and social benefits to women and appropriate signposting to other relevant governmental and voluntary organisations. To follow up the work that ensues from this aspect. We wish to point out there that often our multi-cultural group worker was the first external contact to pick up serious underlying issues that also affect minority ethnic women such as domestic violence, personal stress and developmental delay in children. Some of the women would not have had the necessary resources to access public services or help if our Centre did not service this area.
