Proposed new Multi-Cultural 'drop-in' centre in Middlesbrough

10 minute survey - Ubuntu Multi-Cultural Centre CIC

Ubuntu Multi-Cultural Centre CIC would like to know your views on our emerging plans for a new 'drop-in' centre for all members of the community in Middlesbrough. Whilst we have not yet secured a centre (but we are very active looking!) we need to know what local people think of our ideas to develop social support and solidarity in the town, including growing people's skills, gaining employment and getting to know others in your community. We really want to see what you think and what services at the centre could best serve your needs.

Please follow us on Twitter to keep up with how the 'drop-in' plans develop. @UbuntuMcentre

Or visit our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/UbuntuMulticulturalCentreCIC/

We have teamed up with Civil Society Consulting CIC to help and advise us. They have agreed to provide this help for free as part of their Steps to Sustainability project @CivilSocietyCIC. They will be producing a short report based on the survey findings.
