Birmingham Asian Resource Centre is a front-line community-based, not-for-profit organisation situated in the Handsworth district of Birmingham. The Centre served the needs of the local communities, most of whom are BAME, through the use of their own mother-tongues, with a deep understanding of the religious, cultural and national aspirations of the people it serves. It provides resources and practical help, with a coherent policy of anti-racism, anti-sexism and non-discriminatory practices.
We have become a trusted anchor organisation, supporting many people with welfare benefits, debt as well as housing and support services for the elderly. As the pandemic continues, BAME people will face new and growing challenges on a daily basis. Therefore, it is more important than ever that they are able to access resources to help them manage their well-being in a way that suits their needs.
