The project helped young persons from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups living in Greater Manchester; to engage in a variety of after-school activities, including discussion forums, exercise & fitness classes, learning Ugandan traditional languages of Luganda and Swahili, traditional dance and drama.

There were also trips that gave young persons a chance to experience and explore British sites & cultural centres. Travelling away from home gave them much needed independence and time for reflection, fun and recuperation.
