We are a member led community organisation whose mission is to train and mentor Black and Minoritised people into board and community leadership positions.

BoB Community was started created by the students from the programme who were so positively affected by the training. We group realised that training and mentoring, allied to the building of community is a powerful tool. We are a grassroots member organisation that provides ongoing learning and peer support, open to everyone in the UK.
