Community Connect Foundation

the social and economic wellbeing of the disadvantaged communities in the North Smethwick area. A substantial number of these people have gained qualifications and moved on to find employment in the UK. CCF also provides health education, promotes women’s development and supports youth development. In recent years we have built up a client group comprising more than 50% of people who don’t live in the Smethwick area, are not young and are not Bangladeshi. Therefore, we felt that the SBYF name no longer accurately reflected our client base and may even be preventing us from reaching out to more communities.
