The Welsh Government-funded All Wales BAME Engagement Programme entered its 3 year during 2019, with the project team busier than ever in the 4 corners of Wales. Lee continued his great work in North Wales running the ever-popular Cultures Youth Club in partnership with BAWSO, while Rahila in Newport developed a deepening focus on the needs of BAME Older people. Chisi and then Jalal worked on the issues of BAME people in relation to racism, Islamophobia and hate crime. The team completed the All Wales Survey of BAME people, providing insights into the experience of BAME living in Wales, and also held a successful conference in March entitled ‘United We Stand’ highlighting the need for solidarity in these politically divided times.
