Ileys Community Association (ICA) is an independent organisation formed 2007 and registered as a charity June 2008 by members of the Somali community to meet the growing needs of the local migrant community. ICA is led by Somalis but is not an exclusively Somali organisation. ICA receives referrals from a wide variety of local organisations/agencies such as Sandwell council, Schools, Job Centre Plus, local Mosques, local Churches, local Gurdwara’s, Police, and GB. In 2018, ICA secured a 10-year lease at peppercorn rent for Victoria Park Skill Centre, from Sandwell Council in recognition of the contribution ICA makes to strengthen the communities in Sandwell and Birmingham 

Ileys Community Association working to improve health inequalities reduces social isolation and financial insecurity for residents. We work across Sandwell and Birmingham. Whilst we support the Somali heritage community, we have an open-door approach and support anyone who seeks support and advice. 

ICA has been delivering one to one and (family) group support sometimes using more than one support person as members may find it more comfortable to speak alone and explore issues and accept gentle challenges to their perspectives as a community centre, ICA have over 20,000 visitors per year, and we are well known for providing support more than 35 different languages with 18 different ethnicity…. 65% are women

Ileys Community Association has been supporting people in the local community for ten years. Much of their work helps new arrivals in the UK to develop English language and employability skills, but they also support children and young people as part of their holistic support to families. 

ICA is a Somali word that describes a bright beacon of light that would traditionally draw a community together at night-time so that they could exchange the latest Information and dance and enjoy being together. It is a very appropriate name for the Community Association. 

Last year, one of community expert (researcher)  said “ I  visited to Ileys and a discussion with Mr Nur and Mr Abdul reveals that Ileys has several unusually strong characteristics compared to other charities. These are 

- **Credibility in the local community** – this means that when the community is invited to an event or some training they normally turn up. This will be key if we develop a training provision. 

- **Relatively high level of outputs** – the high attendance levels prove that Ileys is good at delivering the services it has promised to funders. This makes it credible for future funding. 

- **Large and flexible building** – which makes it easy to provide many different services. This includes an IT training suite and two hall spaces. 

- **Large volunteer base** – which creates manpower to deliver projects. 

- **A willing volunteer base** – this is because when people volunteer, they know they are gaining valuable work experience. “ 

ICA’ Staff and volunteers invite new contacts and arrivals to meet them for an initial assessment at the centre. This allows them to: 

- Understand their specific needs. 

- Provide them with advice relating to benefits and income. 

- Provide English language courses with creche support. 

- Provide other training relating to employment skills. 

- Signpost them to other helpful services. 

This approach gains them a high level of credibility and strong relationships with the individuals and families they support.
