Haaya

We offer a wide range of educational, training, support, health and sporting initiatives tailored to the needs of the community. It aims to provide a holistic service, which helps people, particularly those living in disadvantaged communities to re-engage with mainstream society and improve their quality of life.

HAAYA seeks to address issues impacting the community through working with young people who are Not in Education Employment and Training (NEET) to Education Employment and Training (EET) , racial tension, postcode gang violence, criminality and anti-social behaviour, lack of training and employment opportunities. It also places strong emphasis on the health and social welfare of the community.
