Black and minority owned voluntary organisations in Bradford are being invited to take part in a new capacity building programme.

The Consortia of Ethnic Minority Organisations (COEMO) is launching the project Improving Reach to help the voluntary section strengthen and deliver sustainable projects.

COEMO, based at the Carlisle Business Centre, Manningham, is launching the scheme at Grange Interlink Community Centre on Summerville Road, Bradford on Wednesday, June 6, from 10am.

The body's chief executive said: "The network event is a great opportunity for all the BME voluntary organisations to come together and obtain support in building their capacity to provide better services to the community."
