We believe

We attract Community Centres nationally and supply the resources and opportunities to generate revenue, services and the initiative to promote, events, workshops, and social activities to Business and the Community.

We will provide the community and business with a full service entry into BUC’s portal presence, where the best people are available to create revenue, promote the services and opportunities together with the business connections, facilitations, joint venture partnerships offered by UK’s BME Enterprises.

We will act as a conduit between the UK’s Community Centres and BME Business and Social Enterprise Bodies across the UK, including a focus on the major ethnic Diasporas in UK and their countries of origin. We will support Community Centres in the UK to do business with UK BME Enterprises and the Community at large.

• Social change strategies depend on the people's self-determination and empowerment, community champions and leaders, their development and support. BUC continues to be guided by people grounded in the communities.

• Organizing and action led by the community working to control their own lives

• Eliminating barriers to full participation in society (i.e. racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, ageism, and exclusion from decision-making processes)

• Focusing on efforts to change cultural, social, political, and economic systems and institutions that create, accommodate, and perpetuate social injustice

• Creating and modelling democratic cultural, social, political, and economic systems

• Connecting local issues with national and global concerns; and

• Networking, collaborating, and cooperating with other change agents working toward similar goals.
