Achievements, performance and plans:

Aberdeen Multicultural Centre (AMC) is a user led charity, listening to the views of volunteers, partners & public members. AMC is outcome driven & committed to making a positive impact on lives of the diverse communities in Aberdeen through promoting diverse Cultural activities and improving awareness on climate change perspectives. AMC encourages co-operation & integration amongst diverse community groups and building harmony and exchanging cultural & language diversity within the communities. The organisation's vibrant aims are to support communities and the society from social, economic, welfare & environmental perspectives.

Since its establishment, AMC has been organising different cultural events such as International Mother Language Day, Aberdeen Mela-One World Day, Multicultural Burns Night, Eid Reunion Party, Multicultural Bike Rally, Multicultural Football Tournament, Community Engagement Programme, Climate Challenge Fund (CCF) Project and Senior Citizen Lunch Club. In all those events and CCF projects, local communities from different cultural background keenly participated, and their contribution encouraged us to organise more multicultural events and elderly people support projects.

To date, AMC has madea total of 2480 home visits during the last 5 years and beyond through our CCF projects and established trust and connection with each household we visited. The main aim of this project is to increase awareness on home energy efficiency, promoting active travel campaigning, food waste & recycling and home gardening activities in order to reduce carbon emissions and reduce fuel poverty in the region. AMC has been fully involved in delivering CCF project covering diverse ethnic communities in Aberdeen.

Based on different activities such as workshops, home visits, cultural events, community consultations and outreach work, there had been a tremendous demand for climate change activities from diverse communities, and its reciprocal effect can be clearly seen within our communities.

Considering the outcome so far with our continuous involvement in CCF project, it clearly suggests that there has been a significant number of changes in reducing carbon emission and protecting environments among our diverse communities who were directly involved in our CCF project and their reciprocal effect.

Aberdeen Mela - One World Day 2024

The Aberdeen Mela — One World Day is a cultural event celebrating and promoting the diversity of culture and community within the local area of Aberdeen and the Northeast. We aim to promote different communities and their rich culture and heritage and essentially integrate the hard-to-reach communities to the mainstream in a vibrant and comprehensive annual festival, Aberdeen is a wonderfully multi-cultural place, there are many cultures now calling Aberdeen home and this creates a distinctive and welcoming city with a very special multi-ethnic, multi-faith, multi-cultural mix. This is something worth celebrating. The Aberdeen Mela is essential to bringing cultural integration to Aberdeen and the North-East of Scotland,

The target audience for Aberdeen Mela are families, ethnic minority communities and associations & students.

Aberdeen Mela is a completely unique event, there is no other event like it of its size within the Northeast that celebrates the different communities, diversity and promotes cultural integration. The festival is collaborative, interactive and refreshing. It had a showcase of contemporary multi-cultural Scotland and a Family event that provides a unique mix of cultures, activities, entertainment, arts and vibrant fantastic food.

Anti-Racism Observatory of Scotland (AROS) Community Engagement Project:

The Anti-Racism Observatory of Scotland (AROS) is undertaking research to understand the experiences of structural and systemic racism among marginalised communities across Scotland. A core objective of this initiative is to co-design AROS's future function to ensure it can facilitate lasting, impactful change.

AROS has already initiated this work, gathering valuable insights from several marginalised communities. Preliminary research identified key suggestions for AROS's operation and

how communities wish to engage, including issues related to accountability, capacity building, and improved communication.

To align with AROS's national objective of deeper engagement, this specific project focused on building a more profound community understanding for AROS's future within the Aberdeen area. Our engagement involved a series of events designed to achieve the following:

« Document local marginalised communities’ experiences with systemic racism in Scotland,

« Co-design and collaboratively envision the future structure and function of AROS. This report provides a comprehensive summary of the project's methodology, participant demographics, key research findings, and specific recommendations for AROS moving forward,

There were 18 participants attended each workshop from the different diverse cultural background people.

Healthy Living Project:

We run health & well-being sessions to improve physical activities & sporting opportunities for the communities. There was weekly badminton sessions run our Multicultural Sports Club. The ethnic minority people are having less opportunity for physical exercise and sporting activities; this is mainly because of their financial and social status, To come out from this problem we must increase opportunities for them to attend physical exercise, wellbeing & sporting activities. This project was to give access to 20 people from the diverse ethnic communities to attend weekly badminton sessions.

AMC Sporting Club; Promoting Active Lifestyles and Inclusion:

The AMC Sporting Club (AMCSC) was established in Aberdeen with the mission of promoting sports activities, specifically cricket, among people from diverse ethnic backgrounds. AMCSC has quickly established itself in the regional sporting scene, successfully registering and competing in the Northeast Scotland's formal T20 cricket league. Demonstrating strong potential as a new team, AMCSC finished 13th in the league standings and reached the semi-finals of the Oxy Cup Cricket tournament. Beyond competitive performance, the club's core objective is to promote a healthy, active lifestyle and improve the mental well-being of young adults within the local ethnic minority communities by providing a structured, inclusive, and engaging sporting environment.

Mental Health & Well-Being Project:

Despite operating without dedicated funding, AMC remained committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of its members and the wider community. We proactively introduced specialized well-being sessions, including a well-attended, weekly Yoga with Mental Relaxation session held every Thursday midday, which was highly valued and appreciated by participants. Crucially, AMC extended its support beyond physical activities

by providing essential advice and assistance to members of the Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities facing acute challenges such as job losses, business closures, and resulting financial hardship. This community segment was particularly vulnerable due to existing barriers, including language differences and lack of proper representation, which often led to increased social isolation, loneliness, depression, and anxiety.

BAME Autism Support & Advocacy Project:

The BAME Autism Support and Advocacy Project successfully completed its first year, dedicated to empowering children and young people (CYP) diagnosed with or awaiting diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), alongside their parents/carers/families from ethnic minority communities. Our work focused on providing practical guidance and culturally sensitive support to overcome the barriers of low awareness and a lack of culturally appropriate resources, which often delay diagnosis and service engagement. To this end, the project delivered several core services: parent support groups; one-to-one advisory sessions to help families navigate the complex pathways within the NHS, education, and social care; and a monthly social club designed to build essential social and sensory skills, Furthermore, we pinned point a comprehensive Autism Information Pack detailing services available across the Grampian area. Direct engagement activities for the ASD children included monthly indoor and outdoor play sessions, Structured swimming lessons, and dedicated sensory activities-games and relaxation sessions. Through these efforts, we are actively working to narrow inequalities and enhance the health, well-being, and community cohesion within the ASD BAME community.

Community Engagement Programme: The AMC continues to host a monthly Community Engagement Programme, offering vital information and signposting to a variety of public services. This program operates as a drop-in centre catering to diverse communities, providing support across areas such as: Immigration services, home energy advice, domestic violence and abuse support, housing, skill development for employability, social housing, welfare benefits and social services, and pension and retirement matters. We are committed to maintaining these essential engagement sessions to ensure this crucial information remains accessible to hard-to-reach immigrant communities in Aberdeen.

New Year Party:

On January 1st, 2025, the AMC and the Aberdeen Bangladeshi Welfare Trust jointly hosted a New Year party at the Hilton Convention Centre. The event was a great success, offering a full program of entertainment that Included music, dancing, singing, children's activities, and a magic show, alongsidea variety of food options. Approximately 200 guests attended the celebration, thoroughly enjoying the festivities and warmly welcoming the New Year.

Annual Picnic 2024:

The Annual Picnic 2024 was successfully co-hosted by the AMC, ABWT, and the North Sea Cricket Club on June 23, 2024, at Haddo House & Country Park. This popular outdoor event brought community members together for a day of fun and diverse activities. Highlights included engaging games for children, men, and women, a vibrant cultural show featuring music, dance, and singing, a raffle draw, and delicious food and BBQ. Everyone in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the full day of entertainment, joy, and camaraderie.

Observation:
