Cultures CIC was formed by Sade Sangowawa and commenced trading as a Community
Interest Company (CIC) In 2007. Based in Stockton-On-Tees, Cultures CIC works
with individuals and groups from BME, migrant and Refugee communities to improve
social, economic and cultural inclusion and build social cohesion. The company
is involved in a number of long and short term community projects across the
following themes: Improve employability; Promote equality; Break down barriers;
Improve access to services and; Delivering cultural awareness raising seminars
and conferences. Since 2007 Cultures has become a valued community resource and
has established its credibility as a public service provider for out-sourced
service provision. We have also been very successful in delivering a number of
other projects for job Centre Plus, Learning & Skills Council and Stockton
Borough Council via the Five Lamps Organisation and The Taste of Africa event,
which is now considered a regional event with an increasing audience, attracting
people from as far as London. We understand the difficulties faced by migrants
when they migrate to another country and through our services we aim to help
them understand the new culture and way of living, the public service structure
and their rights and responsibilites. Our strategic aim is to ‘Advance the
economic, social and cultural integration of disadvantaged BAME, Refugee and
migrant Communities’. Our staff and associates have a wealth of knowledge and
experience in the specialist fields within which we work.
