Current Projects
Junior Girls Can
Better Together
Better Together is a community project now in its third year, bringing together young people and older members of the Windrush Generation to share stories, experiences, and conversations.
Through open discussions and creative activities, the project explores themes of migration, identity, heritage, and belonging. It creates a space where generations can learn from one another, connect through shared experiences, and build stronger community ties.
By understanding the past, young people are encouraged to feel proud of who they are and confident in shaping the future.
Every Wednesday 10am- 12noon

Sisters Can
Sisters Can is more than just a programme it’s a growing community of young women aged (16+) coming together to support and inspire one another.
We meet every Thursday to talk about life, set goals and laugh. We do fun activities, outings and there’s always something exciting happening.
Whether you're figuring out your path, chasing big dreams, or just wanting to connect with others this is your space to be real, be heard, and be yourself.
At Sisters Can, we believe in you — and we believe in each other. So come as you are and discover what you can do.

The project works to inspire and engage girls aged 11-15 years in positive activities, helping them make informed decisions and overcome barriers.
Past Projects
Freedom Day
It is becoming increasingly recognised that history is not solely about the past but is about the present. With this ethos in mind, each year in January, with the funding ofDe Montfort university, we celebrated Freedom Day! Freedom day seeks to ensure that the future generation get to understand their history. Our examination of freedom included freedom from discrimination, freedom of speech, personal freedoms and continuing struggles towards freedom.
Braunstone Mums and Dads
Braunstone Moms and Dads is a programme for parents to share experiences, develop friendships and support one another.
There's no cost for group members, as we are currently funded by Ward funding from Leicester City Council. All our staff are DBS cleared and trained in safeguarding.
We've adapted to Covid-19 restrictions by meeting outside and limiting group numbers - we hope to return to indoor meetings soon.
