The Yemeni Community Associations’ (YCA) main mission is to pursue for a positive change amongst BAME communities within Salford and Greater Manchester in social engagement, equality, inclusion, community cohesion and physical and mental wellbeing.
In addition, it aims to tackle community safety, hate crime, low attainment in education and to promote learning opportunities, but to also directly assist with welfare and digital needs with the intention of allowing beneficiaries in becoming more socially independent. This includes services and activities that target education provision, youth provision, Adult provision, single gender provision, health provision, skills and work provision and welfare and debt advice.
All YCA’s activities and services are carried out in partnership with an extensive range of agencies established over decades of service.
