Public benefits
PURPOSE 1: The direct benefits which flow from advancing amateur sport and encouraging participation in sport is that there will be increased physical fitness and improved mental health and social inclusion within the African and Caribbean community. PURPOSE 2: The direct benefits which flow from promoting cultural diversity and racial harmony is
that there will be a greater understanding between people from diverse backgrounds and local people. We will be striving to cultivate a sentiment in favour of equality and diversity in sport while at the same time reducing isolation of people from Africa and the Caribbean by bringing them together in various cultural activities and reaching across social barriers. PURPOSE 3: The direct benefits which flow from advancing the education of the beneficiaries in leadership, coaching and organisation of sport and related subjects is that they will have the skills to be able to help develop the sporting potential in others in their community. They will also have the skills and knowledge to provide a safe, supportive and positive environment for young people and others to participate in various sporting activities. PURPOSE 4: The direct benefits which flow from the prevention and relief of poverty is that some of the beneficiaries will be helped to find employment or be able to make a living from using their sporting talents, thus being able to financially support themselves and their families. PURPOSE 1: These benefits can be demonstrated by the numbers of people participating in the various athletic activities that we organise, for example football, table tennis and boxing in the first instance. It will also be demonstrated by providing sporting equipment to communities in Africa and the Caribbean which cannot afford it. PURPOSE 2: They can be demonstrated by showcasing our diverse cultures via sports and games and also specific cultural events. We will organise sporting events and competitions to bring together the beneficiaries and also local people.

What your organisation does
Multi-Ethnic Sports and Cultures NI has the following bespoke programmes in place to achieve its objectives and purposes: MSCNI Sport-Cultural Festival is a summer event celebrating diverse cultural extravaganza, cross-community, and family reunions. It is to make Northern Ireland a multicultural nation, invoking the spirit of sportsmanship and
togetherness, encouraging cross-community participation in grassroots football, saying no to racism, and cultivating a sentiment in favour of equality and diversity in sports and culture. Asylum Seekers and Refugees Support Projects, we provide them with sporting activities and cultural platforms. Also, supporting emerging asylum seekers and refugee communities with information, advice, facilities, and equipment allows them to settle down quickly, integrate, socialize, and build connections with the host community and society. We also provide residential programs, English language and speaking classes enable refugees and asylum seekers to integrate and build on their employability skills. Food vouchers support asylum seekers and refugee families on a low income struggling financially and mental health programs help them develop coping mechanisms. Celebration of African Queens: The fact that MSCNI is culturally diversified gave birth to this Celebration. It is conceived to bring communities together to celebrate cultural diversity by showing diverse native fashion endowments and beautification of women. We also run sports-related programmes to serve our purposes: Weekly football session for children aged 5 to 25, Friendly Sports Matches, Women sports, Ethnic Minority Football Club, Sports Mentorship and Training, signposting, and our community hub, which we use as a drop-in centre where members of the ethnic minority community can use the facilities to get support, complete schoolwork and have meetings for their community groups.
