About Upbeat Communities
Upbeat Communities started in 2005 by a group of Christians from Community Church Derby. It was founded in response to the needs of refugees arriving in the UK and the stories they shared of their lives and their journeys. Through building relationships with those from refugee communities we were able to identify their needs and the best ways to respond.

They began by giving practical help and support to refugees and asylum seekers, which rapidly grew into projects that built cohesion with the whole community. One of the first major projects was to set up a community café in a multicultural part of the city, providing employment and volunteer opportunities for refugees, with a space for community activities, arts, and family events. From this initial work they developed a range of services, delivered with a number of different partners (Derby City Council, The British Red Cross, St James' Centre, Derby Refugee Advice Centre & Refugee Action). For more information about their current activities see Our Work.

They are a registered charity 1162856 and a social enterprise company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales No. 05648977.
