The Phoenix Way

The Phoenix Way is a community-led initiative to improve socio-economic outcomes for Black & racially minoritised communities across the UK. Led by The Ubele Initiative and supported by Global Fund for Children, it is a grant-making initiative aimed at transforming Black and racially minoritised communities. It was established in partnership with six Regional Leads:

 

• Yorkshire & Humber

• South West

• North West

• North East & Cumbria

• Midlands

• London & South East

​

and with the support of several new UK funders, including The Youth Endowment Fund and the Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales. 

​

​

At Bridging Change, our intention is to build strong, dynamic and successful Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic groups, communities, organisations, businesses and individuals that are empowered to flourish, free from inequality and discrimination. We do this through the building of strong alliances, connections and networks.  

​

​

We are working in partnership with The Phoenix Way to offer Black and racially minoritised-led organisations and groups training and support to make them stronger from within and to help them to thrive. Have a look at our free online Infrastructure training programme. 

​

For organisations in Kent and Brighton and Hove, we will also be organising networking events in early Summer 2026.
