Our Story

“Bringing together communities to share common goals and help build a better and more positive future for all.”

The United Multicultural Centre has been in service for 42 years, with a track record of connecting locally, regionally and nationally whilst serving the communities of the Rotherham borough. We have changed with the times and have tailored our services based on the socio-economic changes in the borough, which has enabled us to develop pioneering activities whilst continuing some of the ongoing projects.
​
Working with children, families, people with special needs, refugees, asylum seekers, and disadvantaged sections of the diverse community, we have aligned ourselves with the changing environment of the borough, truly achieving our mission.

Past comments from the Matrix Standard
“We really appreciate the whole-hearted support of UMCC staff. They have developed a very close bond with our children [who are learning English as an additional language] with their caring attitude.”
Mrs GrayAssistant Headteacher, Clifton Community Art School
“I have seen over the years how tirelessly the centre and its staff have worked to tackle so-called inclusion issues and closer integration between communities in Rotherham. This has resulted in people from a diverse range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds seeing huge improvements in their lives… Its work in relation to training advice, counselling, fund raising is recognised both nationally and internationally.”

“I enrolled with UMCC to study GCSE Maths because I hadn’t achieved the grades I wanted at school. I found the tutors very helpful and when I achieved grade A, I was extremely proud.”
