As part of our All Wales BAME Engagement Programme, EYST Wales has been working on mapping the breadth and diversity of BAME organisations in Wales.
BAME organisations have been defined as any community group or organisation which is run predominantly for or by people of Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic backgrounds. If your organisation is listed here and you would like to amend the information shown, or if you would like to add details of any other such group please do so here
BMHS is a not-for-profit organisation focused on education and advocacy to inspire a mentally healthy BAME community by providing support appropriate to their mental health and wellbeing.
We believe that mental health and physical health should be valued equally. Sadly, institutional apathy, structural inequalities, racism, fear, stigma, and discrimination means that Black Asian and Minority Ethnic people are disadvantaged when it comes to accessing mental health and wellbeing services, and to the quality of care they can receive.
Structural discrimination refers to policies and practices within institutions that are intended to be neutral, but which result in adverse outcomes for particular groups.

The Romani Cultural Arts Company is the leading Romani and Traveller community-based organisation in Wales, traditionally using the arts and culture as a vehicle for advocacy and empowerment, amongst the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. RCAC is also supporting individuals to become “Community Champions”, as actors and agents of change in their own communities, making a difference for themselves and the wider society. RCAC is managed by a Board (voluntary management committee) made up of representatives from the GRT communities, meaning that community members have a role as decision-makers and are part of the process of shaping the advocacy and rights agenda that RCAC promotes. The Company believes it is essential that the GRT communities be at the forefront of social progress and positive developments in social inclusion, in the struggle or the recognition of GRT rights and promoting inter-cultural understanding. Within Wales and increasingly across the UK, our advice and expertise is sought by local governments, policy-makers, decision-takers and local or national institutions. We are asked to evaluate the effectiveness of their policies and strategies or to support them in consultation to ensure the voice of the GRT communities they serve, is heard. We lead on advocacy for these vulnerable communities, influencing the policy and strategy agendas in the context of a devolved Welsh Government and increasingly internationally across the UK.

We are a Community rich in strong attachments to Reform Judaism and proud of a diverse membership which enhances our very existence. Our youngest member is under 1 year old whilst one of our patriarchs has recently marked his 95th birthday by sponsoring a Shabbat morning Kiddush.
The Synagogue was founded in 1948 by two members of the Cardiff Jewish Community. Their aim was to provide a less traditional style of religious Services than had previously been available in the Welsh Capital whilst, at the same time, ensuring a continued adherence to Jewish values and customs. The concept was much admired by the newly arrived immigrants from countries which included Germany, Czechoslovakia and Austria. Within a short period these newcomers became members of the Cardiff New Synagogue, so called to differentiate it from the existing Orthodox Synagogues in the City. It was not until half a century later that “New” was officially dropped in favour of “Reform”.
Services were originally held in the Temple of Peace, one of the buildings which still comprises the beautiful Civic Centre of Cardiff but there was a strong desire from the outset to establish a permanent Jewish “home” and by mid 1952 the Community had purchased and moved in to our current imposing premises. Throughout the past sixty two years, renovation and adaptation works have been carried out in order to meet the changing needs of our members but the building has never failed to retain its essence of warmth , vibrancy and welcome. We are extremely proud of the fact that visitors coming to CRS always comment on the way in which they are made to feel at ease by one and all.
Like all Synagogues we have over the years witnessed changes in the make-up and dynamic of our membership. With our roots planted firmly in Reform Judaism we have adjusted accordingly to meet the demands of progress but without surrendering the important values which make us the Community we are today….united, warm and vibrant.

Just as a warming fire draws people in, Focal Point is a Community Voice Project that brings people from differing cultures together, giving them a voice in the way services are provided and the skills and opportunities to engage with one another and the local community in Merthyr Tydfil.
More than one culture
Focal Point developed out of the Polish Community of the Valleys Association. The members, made up of Welsh and Polish families realised they couldn’t and shouldn’t work in isolation and therefore worked with other organisations to develop Focal Point which supports all newly arrived communities (whether from other countries or other parts of the UK!).
Focal 1
The steering group is made up of 12 committed individuals who choose which services the project consultant should work with. To date we have worked with over 50 organisations.
The project consultant also chairs the Migrant Workers Service Providers Forum which allows a through flow of regular information on needs and solutions.

Glitter Cymru was set up in June 2016 as a monthly meet-up group for people who identify under the following two acronyms: BAME meaning Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic and LGBT+ meaning Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans.
This group came about after hearing the frustrations of the BAME LGBT+ community of not feeling welcomed, understood or represented by the wider LGBT community and in society in general. So Glitter was born to be the possible antidote to the issue of invisibility that we continue to feel, particularly in smaller cities like Cardiff and Newport.

The Romani Cultural Arts Company is the leading Romani and Traveller community-based organisation in Wales, traditionally using the arts and culture as a vehicle for advocacy and empowerment, amongst the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. RCAC is also supporting individuals to become “Community Champions”, as actors and agents of change in their own communities, making a difference for themselves and the wider society. RCAC is managed by a Board (voluntary management committee) made up of representatives from the GRT communities, meaning that community members have a role as decision-makers and are part of the process of shaping the advocacy and rights agenda that RCAC promotes. The Company believes it is essential that the GRT communities be at the forefront of social progress and positive developments in social inclusion, in the struggle or the recognition of GRT rights and promoting inter-cultural understanding. Within Wales and increasingly across the UK, our advice and expertise is sought by local governments, policy-makers, decision-takers and local or national institutions. We are asked to evaluate the effectiveness of their policies and strategies or to support them in consultation to ensure the voice of the GRT communities they serve, is heard. We lead on advocacy for these vulnerable communities, influencing the policy and strategy agendas in the context of a devolved Welsh Government and increasingly internationally across the UK.

The Wales BAME Women's Challenge group has been set up to provide a safe space to group members where they can share information and discuss matters relating to race inequality, discrimination and exclusion of BAME women in Wales
Background
Chwarae Teg & Welsh Women's Aid produced & delivered an online publication 'Our women of Covid-19' campaign (Aug 2020)which only depicted white women in Wales. The campaign excluded the countless Welsh BAME women who worked tirelessly and even failed to include the BAME heroines who lost their lives in public service.
The initial purpose of this group is to provide the Welsh Government a collective response regarding this concerning discriminatory campaign & highlight the continual Institutional racism.
Overall our collective aim is to unequivocally challellenge the continued racism, discrimination and exclusion of BAME women in Wales with a determined vision to bring positive social change for our future BAME generations and wider society.
Support for Polish people in Carmarthenshire.
