A Message from Our Director
Our Director shares the vision, purpose, and heart behind Buddy Program CIC — a community built on inclusion, learning, and belonging.
Welcome,
It is with great pride and deep purpose that I introduce our Community Interest Company (CIC), built with the vision of creating a more welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment for migrants settling in the United Kingdom.
Moving to a new country can be an exciting but also overwhelming experience — one filled with cultural differences, language barriers, and a sense of uncertainty. Our mission is to walk alongside those who are starting this new journey, offering not just practical support, but genuine human connection.
Through cultural orientation sessions, English conversation groups, creative and faith-based events, and one-to-one buddy support, we aim to build bridges — between communities, between cultures, and between people. Our programmes are designed not only to help newcomers adapt and thrive but also to bring long-standing residents and new arrivals together in mutual respect and understanding.
At the heart of everything we do is a belief in the strength of diversity, the power of community, and the value of every individual’s story. Whether you are newly arrived and looking for support, or someone who wants to offer your time and kindness as a buddy or volunteer — there is a place for you here.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
