Serving Doncaster Communities

ABOUT

‘khidmah’ means ‘to serve’ in Arabic, Bangla, Urdu and so many other languages!

Our activities serve ethnic minority communities in and around Doncaster, promoting social inclusion and fostering a sense of belonging among all participants. Through culturally diverse programmes, we encourage cultural exchange and mutual understanding, enriching the social fabric of the wider community. By enhancing community cohesion, we create a supportive environment where different groups can interact and build strong bonds. Additionally, our initiatives improve participants’ mental and physical well-being, reduce social isolation, and offer opportunities for skill development and economic growth. Our commitment to serving a diverse community helps create a vibrant, inclusive, and resilient society.
