Hi,
we would like to introduce ourselves as the new BME
Communities First Development Workers, Shazia Ahmed, and Shajan Miah, also known as Shaz.
Our
remit is the whole of Newport, and one of the
ultimate goals of our job is to promote the BME
community in Newport to play a bigger role in the
mainstream community.

The BME communities in
Newport face economic, social and cultural factors that can
negatively affect daily living. Disparities in educational
resources, disproportionate low wage employment, high
unemployment rates, lack of support and communication are
seen to be some of the barriers to the rights and
entitlements within an inclusive society. As BME
Development Workers we are fortunate to be in a position to
support BME communities with these pressing issues and make
a real difference. Our aim is to engage with the BME
community in such a way that enables them to sustain
themselves through any means, such as capacity building and
social enterprise. Community Development is all about
working with the community. We want you to work with us and
together we can promote opportunities for people to use
their own strengths and resources to empower people to build
a better future. |
