The Maya Project: enabling Black, Asian Minority Ethnic and Refugee women to live the lives they want

From 2016-2020, we were the lead organisation on the Maya Project – a partnership which provided a collaborative approach to supporting Black Asian Minority Ethnic and Refugee (BAMER) women and girls in Manchester; dealing with crisis, accessing help and support, developing aspirations and achieving dreams. Here, we share an Impact Report of the project – about 800 women per year
attended our services and received support, which far exceeded our overall target of 2000 women over 4 years.
