Welcome to Afro-Innovation Group

Afro-Innovation Group was formed in 2006 as a community volunteer group by a small group of refugees newly relocated in Leicester.  The objective of  the group was to resolve issues and meet specific need experienced by group members as they re-settled into their new community.  In 2008 the    Group became a registered charity.

Since those early days our organisation has been served by volunteers  with    specific experience unique to the refugee, asylum seeking, minority worker and ethnic minority populations of Leicestershire and, increasingly, beyond.  How might we help you?

We can assist in resolving a wide variety of problems including  those  associated with sickness and financial hardship and direct you towards  appropriate legal assistance if necessary.

We can assist with the completion of formal documents, the writing of  formal letters and provide direction towards relevant agencies and support services.

We can provide translation and interpretation services in several African specific languages including English, French, Lingala and Swahili.

We can assist with resolution of computer and IT problems including the use of commonly used software such as MS Office.

We are not always working.  We like to have fun and party so we provide facilities for recreation and leisure time activities.  We often join with other community groups to party together.
