Archive: BAME Women’s Project

*This project has now ended.

The BAME Women’s Project was a tri-borough programme providing support across Bromley, Croydon and Lambeth, run in partnership with both Croydon BME Forum and ASHA Projects.

The project tackled social isolation of BAME women by removing the mental and physical barriers when trying to access advice and support; helping break the silence around domestic abuse and empower women to take control of their futures.

Sisters Own Coffee Mornings

The Sisters Own BAME Coffee Mornings was a community support group specifically for women within Black Asian Minority Ethnic groups living in Bromley, Croydon and Lambeth.

The sessions helped BAME women to:

• Build social networks and friendships
• Encourage women to develop new skills
• Improve physical, emotional and mental wellbeing
• Access advice and 1:1 support

Please direct any enquiries about the project to the relevant borough coordinator.
