We are proud to announce the launch of the Mali Enterprising Leaders (MEL) England, a capacity support and development programme focused on the needs of micro and small Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) led voluntary and community organisations, that has been impacted upon negatively by the pandemic. 

The aim of MEL England is to enhance and raise the voice of BAME led community and voluntary organisations through the building of confidence, knowledge, capacity and capabilities, including networking opportunities. 

MEL England is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and City Bridge Trust.

The MEL England Programme will: 

• Support grassroots BAME led community and voluntary organisations in England; and

• Include open support webinars alongside targeted support to 62 organisations across England’s regions who meet our criteria for intensive support.

COMing up!

MEL England Launch event on 24th November 2020 @ 3:30pm

We will introduce the MEL (England) Programme and provide an overview of how micro and small BAME led organisations can access the support. You will have an opportunity to ask questions on completing the Application Form and receiving the support.

We are hosting a series of Capacity Support Webinars: Fundraising to ensure micro and small BAME led community and voluntary organisations are aware of new and recently published funding opportunities.
