How we operate?
We facilitate debates about government’s proposals or policies and bring BME organisations together to explore possible responses on both the strategic and organisational levels. We also assists member groups to develop their capacity and to effectively identify and respond to the needs of service.
Services:
-
Merton’s BME Forum: brings together groups to explore the horizon and the impact of issues and policy decisions and make appropriate representation.
-
Development Research and Information Project (DRIP) - A peer support & resource “drop-in” service: Provides access as and when required to a range of resources, e.g. library, research, information and ICT – signposting groups where necessary.
-
Advocacy: We facilitate the representation of the individual, or a collective voice for BME groups, to resolve issues, reduce isolation and improve community development and engagement.
-
Capacity building: We help to empower groups through one-to-one training, to identify, articulate, evaluate and respond to the needs of their organisations and beneficiaries.
-
Marketing and promotion: We showcase the services and contributions of BME groups.
-
Strategic planning and development: We stimulate Merton’s BME sector to continually strive for excellence through effective partnership working.
