We continue our conversations on creative activism by going into the communities of Bury and Manchester to speak to the people involved in grass roots initiatives , systems change and community activism.
In this episode I speak to Ummrana Farooq, founder of the BAME Project in Bury. BAME stands for Believe in yourself , Achieve your goals, Maintain resilience and Exceed your targets and offers grassroots, inclusive, community support to anyone in Bury that needs it.
From an early age Ummrana has been raising funds for charitable causes and dedicated much of her time to improving life for those in the community who may be facing difficulty or hardship. Here we discuss what inspired her to become involved in supporting the people in her home town , discover some of the many initiatives Ummrana and her team have started and who they help and find out why the BAME project is such an important part of community life.
