Time to build

Imagine doing the job you love, having a real passion for making a difference in your community and then having your livelihood taken from you by some opportunistic thieves. That’s what happened to poor Jay in Manchester. Thankfully our lovely member Holly thought we might be able to put a smile on his face and get him back transforming the landscape of Manchester again. Top man Jay and thanks Holly! Hope this helps you get back on your feet x Greetings from Manchester on thi

From Floods to Community

In both Bristol and Cardiff their Jamaican communities were quick to react to help their friends and family back home.
