meaningful progress across several key
areas, making a clear and practical
difference to the lives of individuals and the
wider community.
•
As an anchor organisation within the
Levelling Up Programme, UDF has
remained firmly committed to
reducing regional inequalities and
unlocking community potential,
particularly across East
Birmingham. By strengthening local
resilience and supporting grassroots
organisations, UDF helps
communities shape their own
futures and work towards fairer
social and economic outcomes.
•
The rising cost of living continues to
place significant pressure on BAME
communities, especially those from
low-income backgrounds. UDF has
responded by providing essential
information, advice, and practical
support that helps individuals regain
stability and confidence. Despite
growing demand and increased
financial pressures, the charity has
continued to meet need wherever
possible, demonstrating a strong
commitment to those most affected.
•
UDF recognises domestic abuse as
a serious and complex issue that
affects individuals regardless of
gender. The charity provides safe,
trusted spaces where victims can
seek support, understand their
options, and access appropriate
referrals. This work plays a vital role
in helping people move towards
safety, dignity, and long-term
wellbeing.
•
Through its environmental work and
the Clean Air Community Initiative,
UDF has raised awareness of air
quality, environmental health, and
low-carbon living. By delivering
workshops, community monitoring,
clean-up activities, and partnership
work, the charity has helped
residents better understand
environmental risks and take
practical steps towards healthier,
more sustainable neighbourhoods.| • UDF also delivers targeted cost-ofliving information, advice, and guidance for BAME residents aged 50 and above in Birmingham. This work focuses on individuals who are retired, unemployed, living alone, or living with disabilities. By improving access to clear information and practical resources, the programme supports financial resilience and improves quality of life for older members of the community. Overall, the charity’s work reflects a strong and consistent commitment to tackling inequality, supporting vulnerable people, and creating positive, lasting change at a community level. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
