Based at 49 Clifton Street in Middlesbrough, Ubuntu Multicultural Centre CIC was founded in February 2020 by John and Irene Kabuye to empower ethnic minority communities, helping them build confidence, trust, and access the support they need.
We provide open, unbiased education, advice, and support in a safe and welcoming space. Our goal is to bring people of all cultures together to learn, connect, and grow as one community in Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough is one of the most diverse areas in the northeast. Many of our Ethnic migrants are yearning for a place they can call home, where they can come to offload and talk to other people who can relate to or have passed through the same situation, while having a cup of tea.
Currently there is lack of information flow between the police, social services and the local authorities and migrant communities in the area. Our communities fear the police and are scared of seeking help from the authorities. The communities now more than ever need someone to act as a link between them and the services. Someone the communities can relate to as a role model to them especially the young ones.
Having a closer relationship between the communities and the local authorities and the agencies will lead to good communication, knowing what is expected of all of us. This will result in improved crime reporting and less offending, therefore improving the community’s way of life and empowering communities and promoting community cohesion.
Empowerment: Enabling people to take charge of their own growth.
Hope: Inspiring optimism and possibility.
Integrity: Transparency and honesty in everything we do.
Collaboration: Together, we achieve more.
