About the organisation
CBO is an umbrella forum organisation and the overall vision is to improve the quality of life for all Bangladeshi and other BME groups living and working in the Sandwell Borough. Our aims include: promoting positive pathways into inclusion through an innovative intervention in education, training, learning & employment support, assist the implementation of anti poverty strategy which seals with most excluded individuals in the community through developing and expanding counselling, advocacy and support services for Bangladeshi in Sandwell. Development of a more transparent culture so that community development can be shared within a style of openness and trust, building new partnerships credibility in the communities and the agencies, increasing community pride and individual self confidence through skills development and managing local facilities, development and implementation of a range of community involvement and empowerment strategies to encourage the particiapation of the Bangladeshi community, especially those groups which are most excluded and/or hard to reach e.g. women, young people and elderly.
