The United Yemeni Community in Scotland (UYCS) has implemented several initiatives under the Enhanced Recovery Resilience (ER²) project, aimed at improving mental wellbeing, strengthening community resilience, and addressing challenges related to poverty and inequality.

UYCS is especially proud to have received a Silver Award from Cycling Scotland , recognizing its efforts to promote cycling, sustainable transport, and its vision for a Net Zero Yemeni Community. This achievement was made possible through funding support from Cycling Scotland and the Scottish Government , demonstrating its commitment to advancing projects that foster physical wellbeing and environmental sustainability. With this support, UYCS has been able to expand its cycling programs, encouraging participation across all age groups and promoting active, healthier lifestyles. Beyond individual benefits, this milestone enhances community cohesion and contributes to wider goals of improving mental health, mobility, and environmental awareness across Scotland’s diverse communities.

UYCS engages daily with its members through multiple communication channels, including its mobile phone, WhatsApp groups, email, Facebook, Twitter, and in-person office visits. These connections have enabled the delivery of impactful projects and services for adults, young people, and families, including:

Some of essential activities are:

1. Collaboration with Ethnic Minority Communities in the New Scots Strategy

We took an active role in developing the New Scots strategy together with Glasgow University, COSLA, and the Scottish Refugee Council, showing our commitment to inclusion and support for ethnic minorities. Through open discussions and feedback sessions, we worked with people from many different backgrounds to make sure their voices and experiences were heard. This work gave us the chance to highlight the needs and hopes of ethnic minority communities and to share valuable ideas that will help shape better strategies. By involving ethnic minorities and refugees directly, we created a space for dialogue and understanding. This joint effort shows how important it is to design policies in an inclusive way, ensuring they address real challenges while promoting fairness and integration across Scotland.

  1. Mental Health Workshops and Community Cohesion: It continue delivered activities focused on raising mental health awareness and strengthening resilience which aimed to equip community members with the knowledge and practical strategies needed to manage mental health challenges more effectively.

  1. NHS Referrals : The project provided tailored support to individuals referred by the NHS, including a divorced woman, her son, and others. This assistance was designed to help them navigate challenging circumstances and prevent the escalation of mental health difficulties.

  2. Food bank and Meals : UYCS supports asylum seekers through a food bank program and meal provisions, in collaboration with the Al Khair Foundation, additional donators and volunteers.

  1. Sports Sessions: Continue physical activities such as Football, Taekwondo and Cycling to promote physical health and mental wellbeing, while building resilience in participants. These sessions served as an effective way for individuals, particularly youth and families, to engage in structured, supportive

environments.

  1. Bilingual (Arabic & English) Library: Bilingual library and conversation club are continuing to serve as dynamic resources that foster language learning, cultural exchange, and community engagement. The bilingual library offers a diverse

selection of books and resources in two languages, making literature, educational materials, and cultural narratives accessible to individuals of varied linguistic backgrounds. This encourages literacy and language proficiency while also deepening understanding and appreciation for different cultures.

  1. Bilingual (Arabic & English) Conversation Club: The bilingual conversation club continue complements this by creating a welcoming space for individuals to practice speaking, improve fluency, and build confidence in both languages. These clubs often incorporate activities such as group discussions, themed conversation topics, role-playing, and cultural exchange activities. By engaging in these interactive sessions, members of all proficiency levels can enhance their language skills, connect with others in their community, and gain insights into cultural nuances that go beyond textbooks. Together, the bilingual library and conversation club support an inclusive environment for language learning and cross-cultural connection.

  2. Drop-in Sessions: These sessions offered a safe and welcoming space where community members could share their challenges, get advice, and access resources to support their mental wellbeing.

The different indoor and outdoor activities supported both individuals and the wider community by encouraging people to take part in programs that improved physical health, strengthened mental wellbeing, and built social connections. By keeping our activities open and inclusive, we helped reduce social inequality and gave important support to those facing poverty and mental health challenges.
