2-Social and Cultural Activities

The primary objective of the Sudanese Community Association of South Wales Cultural School is to share its culture, alongside the cultures of other communities in an attempt to provide community cohesion. The school also teaches Arabic to children from all backgrounds in a welcoming, and friendly school environment, which connects them with Sudanese culture. In order to achieve this objective, the teachers engage the children in focused fun activities and provide an encouraging environment for all levels. The school focuses on all aspects of language learning i.e., reading, writing, listening and speaking through the use of drama, art, music, role play, games etc. so children find learning the language a lot of fun. There is also an option for British values as part of the curriculum to encourage integration into the wider community. This school is open to children of all faiths and has an inclusive and pluralistic vision.

The school provides safe, stimulating and inclusive learning outside of normal school hours and during holiday periods. Children are encouraged to choose their play activities with the emphasis on fun and enjoyment with other children.

In the future, we are seeking funds to help us run the Sudanese Community school project which will provide Arabic and cultural lessons as part of a youth development programme. The Sudanese School offers Arabic and cultural lessons for many Sudanese of origin and other children.

In recognition of the lack of facilities targeting young people from the Sudanese and similar communities. We conducted a series of consultations with both young people and parents, who helped us to plan and design our project. In order to further develop our idea's we also met and discussed our proposed project with a range of different community groups to further enhance our project. The feedback from all those consulted has been excellent. This has helped us, to bring people together to build stronger communities. We are creating opportunities for young people who receive least from the education system and are socially deprived.

We received lots of useful information and support which has helped us to put an effective plan in place. Since that time the project has grown from strength to strength and in line with the diversity of our and other local communities. We now attract and welcome a wide range of young people from the many different communities that make up multiracial Cardiff. As a whole with around 50 people on our roll, we would usually operate once weekly on a Sunday. However, contemporarily we have halted the school due to Coronavirus which has affected us heavily. We are working hard in order to re-open the school, while ensuring the safety of our children and volunteers.

We have addressed the community school’s strengths and weaknesses through consultation meetings and directly to parents in addition to the meetings with community groups. We have spoken to young people directly and they told us what they would like from the project and joined us in the planning of the scheme.

3) Finance and Funding.

Now we need some financial support to enable us to develop the Sudanese Community School as a Community Hub to support young people who are desperately in need of this provision, which is improving places that matter to the community. We are developing an excellent community led facility, which is self-financed through fees from the parents, and run by volunteers. However, the fees are a stumbling block for many parents. We are doing our best, as the Board of Trustees, to rebuild cohesion in our community. We are looking to secure funding to help us with routine running costs and to provide necessary equipment.

Finally, The Sudanese Community School has brought together its members and constructed a safe community for them to be united and integrated amongst themselves and others. The School’s children and parents from Sudanese of origin, and other cultural backgrounds have connected and built strong relationships.

4) The Sudanese Community Association of South Wales Hardship Fund :

The Sudanese Community Hardship fund is an optional service that was developed by The Board of Trustees, to aid community members if they or a loved one passes away.

This functions by having community members pay £5 monthly in a community account. The funds collected are used If a member or their loved one passes away, to cover the coverage costs of a funeral and provide other support.

This is a necessary assistance that we provide, especially during this time, as many members have passed away because of the Coronavirus. We are lucky enough to have been able to support our members financially - that otherwise would have struggled heavily with the heavy cost- by using the Hardship Funds’ collective community account.

We are working very hard, as the Board of Trustees of The Sudanese Community Association of South Wales to keep this crucial, imperative service working perfectly by inviting more members to join the Hardship Fund, in order to help as many as possible.
