At Communities Together, we deliver programmes and services that strengthen communities, improve wellbeing, celebrate cultural heritage, and create opportunities for people to connect, learn, and thrive.
Health, Wellbeing and Social Connection
We design and deliver activities that improve physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Through community-based programmes, social groups, creative activities, and cultural engagement, we help reduce loneliness and isolation, build confidence, and support healthier, more connected lives.
Community Engagement and Cohesion
We bring people together across cultures, generations, and backgrounds to build stronger, more resilient communities. Our programmes create opportunities for meaningful dialogue, shared experiences, volunteering, and active participation that foster understanding, trust, and belonging.
South Asian Arts and Culture
We celebrate, preserve, and promote the rich diversity of South Asian arts, culture, and traditions. Through music, dance, visual arts, crafts, storytelling, and performances, we increase access to high-quality cultural experiences and encourage participation from people of all ages.
Learning, Skills and Personal Development
We provide accesible opportunities for lifelong learning, creative exploration, and personal growth. Through workshops, training, mentoring, and community-led activities, we help individuals develop skills, increase confidence, and realise their potential.
Heritage and Cultural Preservation
We work with communities to capture, preserve, and share stories, traditions, and lived experiences that reflect South Asian heritage and identity. Our heritage projects help ensure cultural knowledge is passed on to future generations while creating opportunities for learning and community pride. Our festivals support skill development and opportunities for artists.
Partnership and community Capacity Building
We work collaboratively with local authorities, health organisations, educational institutions, charities, and community groups to deliver sustainable, community-led solutions. By building local capacity and supporting grassroots leadership, we help communities develop skills, resources, and networks needed to create lasting positive change.
Everything we do is focused on improving health and wellbeing outcomes, reducing social isolation, strengthening community cohesion, celebrating cultural diversity, and empowering individuals and communities to thrive.
We Can't do it without our funders and supporters
The Female Business start up sessions and workshops helped me start my own business from home. I made some great friends who have become my mentors and Communities Together have helped me come off benefits and have pride and respect for myself.

The Household Support fund has helped me put food on the table and pay for essentials which has helped my children go to school. There were many evenings that me and my family went to Communities Together building just to stay warm. I cannot thank this organisation enough. They have saved our family!

In participating in the Sangam Festival, I developed a sense of fully understanding communities and participating in all the activities has developed my own craft and helped me understand art, culture and community of a totally different group. It has been a realisation of my self.
