Afrikindness is proud to announce the successful award of funding from Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust to recruit a Community Engagement Officer — a vital role that will focus on improving engagement and understanding between health services and African and Black communities in Bradford.

Afrikindness is proud to announce the release of its 2024 Trustee Report, reflecting a transformative year of advocacy, community empowerment, and strategic growth.

One year after its launch, the Afrikindness Neurodiversity Community Programme (ANCP) has become a transformative force for culturally diverse families navigating neurodivergence in Leeds and beyond. Born out of a pressing need to address deep-rooted stigma, isolation, and the lack of culturally sensitive support, the programme has empowered parents, engaged schools, trained community leaders, and ignited critical conversations.
From churches to community groups, schools to living rooms, they’ve taken the training they received and transformed it into action. Action that builds trust, addresses inequality, and strengthens protective factors for children and families.
