Afrikindness marked a major milestone this weekend with the official launch of its Community Empowerment Programme in Bradford, a transformative initiative designed to strengthen families, equip community leaders, and amplify the voices of underserved groups across the region.
Afrikindness is delighted to announce that we have been awarded Highly Commended – Diversity Project of the Year, sponsored by Dawson Group, at the Leeds City Council Compassionate Awards. This recognition is deeply meaningful — not only because it celebrates our work, but because it comes from home.
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.
