This promotes a strong sense of identity for diaspora to make a positive contribution to Cumbria and its cultural diversity. ## **Vision Statement** We deliver four programme areas; Social, Education, Culture, Health; to share our similarities and celebrate our differences. Our vision is to be a leader in our sector by working collaboratively with partners and organisations that share our values of embracing multicultural integration and community cohesion. We focus on the needs of our ethnically diverse communities to enable them to develop a sense of belonging and ownership of their heritage and culture in Cumbria **“What a challenging year for everyone! Despite the restrictions,** MCC has flourished, continuing to celebrate our diverse cultures in many ways, through virtual sessions and events but particularly through the MCC magazine of which I am an avid reader. It is infectiously enthusiastic and vibrant and illustrates what is so special about the team at MCC: that whatever the circumstances, they are always so positive and inclusive. They emphasise what we have in common while sharing and enjoying our different cultures; we can and do learn so much from each other. MCC is wonderful at breaking down barriers and welcoming everyone in; that has been particularly valuable this last year as the lock-downs have isolated us physically from each other. So perhaps it is no real surprise that the team have deservedly been awarded a substantial grant that will allow them to build on the successes so far. Well done to you all and my best wishes for the next year.” ## This past year has seen our way of life . disrupted in unprecedented ways The old certainties have been upended and we have each grappled with the new normal with feelings of trepidation. Amidst the anxiety there have also been much reflection on issues of cultural identity and fairness. The resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movements in the UK and across the world has seen an increased focus on issues of inclusivity, tolerance and understanding. Alongside that, there has been a worrying backlash against such movements with controversies emerging about perspectives in recounting British History and the existence of institutional racism. It is more important than ever to strengthen the bonds of friendship and humanity between people of all communities. MCC continues to focus on that aim and, despite the unparalleled challenge, delivered a successful programme of work in 2020. Following the ever-popular Culture ## **Lesley Horton Chair - Board of Trustees** Bazaar that occurred prior to the first national lockdown, the team demonstrated agility by providing online dance classes whilst increasing the publication cadence of the Culture Club magazine. This meant that MCC could continue its work despite the restrictions. The online Race 2B conference was a particular highlight of the year which more than doubled post-reach engagements with MCC in October. The year also provided an opportunity to refresh the membership of the Board of Trustees and to build ambitious plans to increase the future impact of the charity. The coming year is full of excitement and promise for MCC and its ability to reach a wide range of people across Cumbria. Securing funding through the National Lottery and building stronger links with the University of Cumbria provides an excellent platform on which to deliver a creative and innovative programme that will make a real difference to people’s lives. I wish to take the opportunity to thank Saj and the team for their hard work and endless enthusiasm despite the difficulties of the past year. The hard work is not over; indeed, it has just begun. However, the team has never been in a better place to meet the challenges ahead and build a more cohesive, tolerant community. ## **Carlisle International** ## **Women's Group** A collaborative organisation consisting of members from COWC, AWAZ and MCC. The group held coffee mornings every 1[st] Wednesday of the month at the Calva Bar in UoC and served as an opportunity for women to get together, socialise and ease away from isolation and stress. It was also a gathering space to prepare for International Women’s Day on 8th March 2020. **Coffee, Craft & Culture Club** started in December 2019. Much to the success of the monthly coffee meetings it was evident that a weekly meeting would be more productive and beneficial. The club inspired creativity and innovation. The group were very productive, busily creating signs, decorations and displays for the forthcoming Culture Bazaar in February 2020. Two regular volunteers helped to set up the venue, Calva Bar at the UoC. The meetings not only gave the women a safe space to socialise, but also created a platform for them to share their thoughts, ideas and opinions. Refreshments, snacks and activities for young children were provided for members and their families. ## **Community Projects** The Culture Club empowered women of the diaspora community, building up their confidence through encouragement and socialising. 2020 was the tenth anniversary of Culture Bazaar, and to celebrate it was proposed to be grander than ever. Meaningful, bright and colourful crafts were produced were from upcycling and recycling materials. The group met every Thursday between 1-3pm. ## **Dance Carousel Online** offered women only International dance classes online during COVID restrictions. This was funded by Sports England. Classes ran from September to December 2020. Shweta Ajay led the Bollywood classes and Joy Dale led the African dance classes. Each class began with a warmup and ended with a cool down. Women were able to join in from the comfort of their homes. The classes were streaming from the Dance Carousel Project at the ICan gym each week. They were very successful and thoroughly enjoyed by the women attending, and enabled them to feel comfortable whilst keeping fit and socialising. During lockdown many people were suffering from mental health issues and isolation. The online classes became a way for women to feel part of the community, and enabled them to feel healthy and active whilst improving their mental health. The language of music broke down the barriers of language and allowed women from different cultures to feel connected to their tutors. Each week, participants learned a new cultural dance and lef the sessions feeling mentally uplifted and physically fitter. ## **Dance Carousel Online** **The Culture Train** was a community produced project. The children could climb aboard the train and take photos. The train was built on the campus of the University of Cumbria by volunteers and community members from recycled materials. ## **Four Carlisle primary schools joined us at the university’s sports arena.** Children moved from one activity to the next to explore new activities such as Japanese origami, food tasting, chinese lantern making and henna art. There were arts and crafts workshops, and kids were encouraged to create their ‘Hands Around the World’ to place on the Hands Tree for Culture Bazaar 2020. In one workshop children extracted DNA from their cheek cells and learnt about genes. This was a simple introduction to molecular biology. They enjoyed the African Dance workshop and were carried far away into storyland with Richard O’Neil, the Romani traveller storyteller. The event gave the children a taster of various cultures and diversity. _Children pointing to their countries of heritage_ As the first Mini Culture Bazaar, it was a really positive and enjoyable experience for all involved and demonstrated that learning about ethnic diversity can be fun and engaging. With an honourable visit from Cumbria’s Lord Lieutenant Claire Hensman on the day, it added a sense of community where children from different backgrounds shared their heritage and identity with their peers. This year’s theme was upcycling and recycling, and reducing our carbon footprint. University staff and students were hands on in supporting Multicultural Cumbria to deliver the event whilst learning about Cumbria’s cultural diversity for themselves. ## **Mini Culture Bazaar 2020 In partnership with University of Cumbria’s Institute of Education.** Richard Rose Central Academy Lismore Place 7 Carlisle CA1 ILY C(4LTURE 2020 15th & 16th February 2020 Sat & Sun 11.00am- 5.30pm - GELEBRATINCr OUR iarH INNfvERSARY FOOD I IWISK I DINGE I fvlMES IITS 4 CRArrs I ST￿ I I?ISPLaYS Multicultural Cumbria INtERN4TIONAU EVENT ¢ELEBRA ETHNIC DIVERsiff SH4IINfr OUI SIMILIIITIES IND CELEBRA TINfr 0111 DIFFERENCES Photos h!"

## **The Statistics** ## **Tower Hamlets, London** Saj Ghafoor went to the University of Cumbria, London campus and invited the students to join and volunteer at the Culture Bazaar in February 2020. This gave the students an insight to the difference in diversity in North and the South. For them the South is flooded with people from various cultural heritages. They were enlightened by the fact that what they took for granted in the South, was vastly appreciated by the North. People were intrigued to learn of the culture, art, food and display of clothing they had shared. The students had a wonderful time in Carlisle and only had one complaint, they wished that they could have had an extra few days to explore Carlisle and the hospitality of the people. _**“We are proud of our diverse student body and the ways in which we offer access to all. Across our 6,300 full-time equivalent students, many come from at least one of the underrepresented groups”- University of Cumbria**_ ## **London Volunteers** We hope that this is the beginning of future student collaboration from London to celebrate the diversity that the University of Cumbria has to offer. **Thank you to our funders, sponsors & amazing volunteers without whom this event would** . **not be possible** ## **Carbon Footprint** Jane Orgee was our volunteer Recycling Lead who advised MCC to ensure that disposable products were recyclable. All food catering businesses, cafe, stalls and stands were instructed to use products that were recyclable. A social media promotion included asking visitors to bring their own reusable tableware and water bottles that could be topped up for free. This resulted in a 63% reduction in refuse to landfill. Provision was made to have recycling bins in place with the support of Carlisle City Council & Richard Rose Caretakers. Thank you to Jane Orgee and to the support volunteers that helped over the weekend. Carlisle Rotary and Victoria. Who says one person can’t make a difference? ## **Culture Club Magazine Online** The impact of Lockdown in March 2020, stopped all our delivery work immediately and so our digital Culture Club Magazine was born. It was the best way to keep the community connected, engaged, involved and participating. During the first lockdown we needed to reach out and show the community they matter, their stories matter, and their experiences matter. The intention was for six weekly issues to get through the Covid-19 restrictions. It did not take long to see that the magazine was connecting to new readers by sharing what is personal diaspora articles and profiles. In addition it covered arts and craft, cultural and faith festivals and events, recipes, MCC’s progress, refugee stories, poetry, world/local history, the Black Lives Matter movement, Race 2B Conference 2020, life in lockdown and even a lockdown wedding. Culture Club Magazine became one of MCC’s main focus points. The response to the magazine has been very positive and encourages the need for us to continue sharing Cumbrian stories. It has enabled a new way of connecting and the opportunity to develop collaborations with other groups and organisations and share the work they do. It has also raised the individual digital skills within the team here at Multicultural Cumbria. Thanks to Cumbria Community Foundation and the National Lottery Community Fund, we received funding to continue another year and develop our digital media. Julie Mennell (Vice Chancellor), University of Cumbria, opened the conference talking about the Importance of Community partnerships. Saj Ghafoor (Chief Officer) Multicultural Cumbria shared her three wishes. - To acquire a multicultural centre in Carlisle with partner hubs in south and West Cumbria - To have a county wide international arts festival to celebrate International culture - To have a Community Cookery School in Carlisle to promote health and wellbeing ## **Race 2B Conference 2020** Multicultural Cumbria’s annual Race 2B Conference during Black History Month, was a virtual event this year, in partnership with the University of Cumbria. Its purpose was to engage the local community with inspirational talks to a mixed audience of civic leaders, decision makers, professionals, the community and volunteers, and to showcase what Carlisle has to offer through diversity and ethnic minorities becoming more visible and empowered, whilst highlighting the inequalities and disparities that diasporas continue to experience, and the need to empower the voice of change, collectively. Working collaboratively is essential in making change happen. Raising awareness of the issues relating to people in Cumbria is key to changing mindsets, behaviour and attitudes to eliminate racism that continues to divide and deny equality for all. **Diaspora Data for Cumbria Multicultural and diverse communities need to be engaged, empowered and enabled to contribute to society and celebrate their heritage, culture and identity with pride without fear of negativity** **----- Start of picture text -----**

Diaspora - Race - Heritage - Identity lulticultural Cumbria Annual Report 2019-2020 This report is a reflection of the challenging tirnes thal the whole county was enduring as we went through a pandemic in the shape of Coronavirus. It shocked everyone as Britain went into lockdown of 23° March 2020. Never has this happened before and it was difficutt to think we now going to live in a restrictive way and not be able to meet others and use the services that were available for use. People went through financial dtfficulties, emotlonal and rnental stress and loss of loved ones. Frontline services like the NHS & police were urKler immense pressure. This was a bigger challenge for Multicultural Cumbria (MCC), after the success of Cutture Bazaar 2020 it was even more reason for the engagement and involvement of the various culbjres and heritsges in Cumbria to remain connect6d and inforrned. MCC had started to deliver coffee and uaft momings as well as hosting the Intemalional Women's group. Collaborating with partners and producing accessible services for ihe community. After the Suc￿sS of Culture Bazaar 2019. the organisation invited students at Universty of Cumbria frotn the London Carnpus to participate in 2020 Culture Bazaar.

Multicultural Cumbria Annual Accounts 2019-2020 Multicultural Cumbria MCC Social - Education - Culture - 4ecl ith. Diaspora - Race - Heritage - Identity lulticultural Cumbria Annual Report 2019-2020 This report is a reflection of the challenging tirnes thal the whole county was enduring as we went through a pandemic in the shape of Coronavirus. It shocked everyone as Britain went into lockdown of 23° March 2020. Never has this happened before and it was difficutt to think we now going to live in a restrictive way and not be able to meet others and use the services that were available for use. People went through financial dtfficulties, emotlonal and rnental stress and loss of loved ones. Frontline services like the NHS & police were urKler immense pressure. This was a bigger challenge for Multicultural Cumbria (MCC), after the success of Cutture Bazaar 2020 it was even more reason for the engagement and involvement of the various culbjres and heritsges in Cumbria to remain connect6d and inforrned. MCC had started to deliver coffee and uaft momings as well as hosting the Intemalional Women's group. Collaborating with partners and producing accessible services for ihe community. After the Suc￿sS of Culture Bazaar 2019. the organisation invited students at Universty of Cumbria frotn the London Carnpus to participate in 2020 Culture Bazaar. Fifteen students of Asian and African diaspora volunteered and delivered a number of worksI￿pS from food demos to arts and crafts. They were inundated! With the cnntinuous sutr£ss of the Craft. Coffèe & Culture dub MCC pathered with COWC and AWAZ in collat()ration with Carfisle IWG. having a M￿(hty coffee moming leading up to Intemational Women's Day. Culture bazaar had b88n bnnging communities togethgr to enpy and share their heritage and celebrated ts 10th anniversary event, and the first Mini Culture Bazaar on 10th February 2020 in partnership with the University of Cumbria. MCC empowers. encourages. engages and inspires BAME cornmunities to be confident and lead the Multicullural and Diaspora identity in Cumbria Creating a all united inclusive and respected communty in the County.
