Word got around that Ensemble was providing some really useful resources to improve children’s language skills, along with a better understanding of their family culture and heritage. As a result, the charity received a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to deliver a multigenerational project using football.

This was aimed at uniting French and English speakers with a Cameroonian heritage, along with African and English football fans within the local geographical communities. See feedback on this project “I never really thought about my identity and cultural heritage until I started to engage with the Ensemble Unity and Community in Football project. Being able to practice my oral interviewing with professional footballers has helped boost my self-esteem and confidence a great deal. The Unity and Community in Football project has greatly transformed my life.”
Our core provision is the French Supplementary School. We’re also involved in healthy eating projects – Grand Kitchen - exercising, heritage preservation, training and advocacy support for children and young people struggling with identity conflicts.
