Aim: Help us to develop our Perth Street site to help develop the community and to support local people through the cost of living crisis.

Bahja Initiative is a community group that has been supporting the community in the areas of:

- Education
- Poverty
- Physical Wellbeing
- Volunteering

Our work has currently taken place from our willows lane site and now with moving into a new site on Perth Street we are now looking to expand our services which will include the following services to the community:

- Create a learning hub to help benefit the local community and growing our trading service. 
- Capacity to provide more food parcels to the community
- Bigger space to run our curry club
- Provide a welcoming place for all by having disabled access so no vulnerable person misses out on our services
