Events and Activities
Our events and activities reflect our charitable objectives by focusing on the capacity and skills development of our members and disadvantaged communities within the Manchester area. Through structured training, community projects, and collaborative initiatives, we help individuals become better able to identify their needs, meet them effectively, and participate more fully in society.
We also place a strong emphasis on supporting young people. By advancing their opportunities in life, we aim to relieve disadvantage and provide practical pathways that build confidence, responsibility, and maturity. This includes recreational and leisure activities, offered in the interest of social welfare, which are designed to improve wellbeing and create a sense of belonging.
In addition, our programmes encourage personal growth by providing support and activities that help individuals develop their skills, capacities, and capabilities. These opportunities enable them to play an active role in society, not only as members of the Owerri community but as engaged and responsible individuals within the wider Manchester community.
Celebrating Heritage Through Community Events
We organise gatherings that showcase the rich traditions of Owerri through music, dance, storytelling, and cuisine. These events not only preserve and promote cultural heritage but also bring together the wider Manchester community, encouraging unity, cross-cultural understanding, and a sense of belonging.
Programmes to Build Skills and Inspire Leadership
We deliver initiatives that support leadership, develop practical skills, and promote cultural understanding. These programmes aim to equip individuals with the confidence and abilities to engage fully in society, contribute positively to their communities, and pursue personal growth.
Community Recreation and Wellbeing
We arrange group activities and outings to local attractions, parks, and cultural spaces. These experiences provide opportunities for relaxation, strengthen friendships, and promote social wellbeing. By encouraging positive interaction and healthy leisure, we create safe spaces where members and young people can enjoy themselves while building stronger community bonds.
Community Forums and Idea Exchange
We host regular gatherings where members share experiences, discuss challenges, and explore solutions together. These forums encourage collaboration, build confidence, and strengthen the capacity of individuals to participate more fully in society. By connecting people across generations and backgrounds, we create opportunities for mutual support and the development of skills that benefit the wider Manchester community.
Youth Development and Empowerment
We provide programmes that support young people in Manchester through career guidance, leadership skills training, recreational activities, and sports. These initiatives not only inspire and prepare young members for future success but also help them build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of belonging in society.
Community and Family Engagement
We bring families together through picnics, fun days, storytelling sessions, and cultural activities. These gatherings promote unity, strengthen family relationships, and create opportunities for all generations to enjoy recreation while building a supportive community spirit.
