ADAB provides Community services and Development support to BAME (Black Asian and Minority Ethnic) communities and helps tackle Discrimination and inequalities in Bury.  We  support minority communities with services to develop their resilience and to enhance their quality of life, by building their confidence and independence to become more active and involved citizens in the community. 

We enable BAME communities to broaden their knowledge and skills to be able to move into education, training or employment; improve their health and wellbeing and develop their sense of belonging as a responsible and valued citizen of Bury.
