At AAMU Community, we are committed to supporting the refugee communities across the United Kingdom, particularly in Birmingham. Our efforts focus on assisting individuals and families as they adapt to their new lives here. Our mission is to ensure that refugee and  asylum seekers and those encountering language barriers, have access to the guidance, resources, and support necessary to integrate and thrive within British society.

We offer a comprehensive range of services designed to address the challenges associated with resettlement. These include language support, legal assistance, and cultural orientation. Furthermore, we are proud to operate the AAMU School, an educational centre dedicated to providing language learning and cultural programmes tailored specifically to the needs of Afghan children. Through these services, we strive to empower every member of our community with the tools and knowledge required to build a brighter and more stable future.

Our community centre is a welcoming space for newly arrived refugees and asylum seekers. Its primary purpose is to provide support to refugees experiencing hardship, including the provision of essential items such as food and clothing. We also address urgent needs, such as assisting with resettlement and integration into British society.

Nearly all of our volunteers and staff are / were refugees who have themselves migrated to the United Kingdom as a result of war. With lived experience of the challenges faced during resettlement, they are uniquely positioned to offer compassionate and practical support to newly arrived individuals. Their assistance encompasses a variety of areas, including housing, education, health, financial management, women’s empowerment, safeguarding of children, and English language courses (ESOL). Additionally, we facilitate cultural, social, and community engagement activities to foster a sense of belonging.

Recognising the importance of preserving cultural identity, we also provide training courses in local Afghan languages, including Farsi and Pashto. These courses are aimed at Afghan refugee and asylum-seeker children aged between 6 and 16, with the ultimate goal of developing a bilingual workforce for Birmingham and the broader West Midlands region.

At AAMU Community, our overarching goal is to foster a stronger, more inclusive community where everyone feels supported and valued. Whether you are seeking assistance with daily life, looking to attend language classes, or simply in need of someone to talk to, AAMU Community is here to help. Together, we can build a future founded on mutual respect, understanding, and opportunity.
