To promote inclusion and economic independence for Black and Minority Ethnic women in the North East
"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest." ~ Maya Angelou
We are a registered charity and have been providing services for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Women for over 17 years. The Centre is a women-led, grass-root organisation that helps women bring positive changes to their own and others’ lives.
Our purpose is to provide a friendly atmosphere where women can receive the understanding, support, and resources they need to make informed choices about their lives and to break out of the cycle of poverty, isolation, and dependency.
Our work includes, but is not limited to, information and guidance, outreach, groups, services (Onsite crèche; Ma Angelou childcare and parent support services; Angelou Carers), training, and volunteer opportunities.
The Angelou Centre has a dedicated team of staff and volunteers working to promote social inclusion and economic independence of BME women. We provide individual support for women, education, childcare assistance, employability guidance, citizenship guidance and a helpful environment where women can support each other.
Our multilingual team includes women from many cultures and backgrounds, there will be someone on our team who can help you in Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Farsi, French, Hindi, Kurdish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Sylheti and Urdu.
