Honoured to have attended the Football Black List 2026 at the QEII Centre—an evening that truly celebrated excellence, resilience, and impact across the game.

At Families Against Violence, we see every day how representation, opportunity, and support can transform lives. Events like this reinforce why our work matters.

Congratulations to everyone recognised—you are shaping the future.

A huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to the Multiverse Foundation for your incredible support, generosity, and commitment to bringing people together through creativity, culture, and community.

To all of the amazing Artists and wonderful Guests — thank you for being part of such a special occasion. Your presence, energy, talent, and support helped make the event truly unforgettable.

And a very special thank you to the community performers, who delivered such a fantastic performance with passion, pride, and excellence. You brought joy, inspiration, and a real sense of togetherness to everyone in the room.

Moments like these remind us how powerful community can be when people come together to celebrate art, expression, and one another.

Thank you all for making it such a beautiful and memorable experience.

Grateful to have been part of such a powerful and inspiring evening at the Nigeria Diaspora Community Private Reception on the 13th of March at 116 Pall Mall.

It was a privilege to connect with an incredible network of leaders, changemakers, and professionals committed to strengthening UK–Africa relationships and driving meaningful impact across sectors.

A sincere thank you to the organisers and partners for bringing together such a dynamic and purpose-driven community. Events like this remind us of the importance of collaboration, dialogue, and shared vision in addressing the challenges that matter most.

Ambassador Tuggar has played a central role in advancing Nigeria’s modern diplomatic agenda, championing economic partnerships, diaspora engagement, and regional stability as part of Nigeria’s 4D foreign policy framework.

At Families Against Violence, we remain committed to building safer, stronger communities, and it was encouraging to engage with so many who share a passion for positive change.

Looking forward to continued conversations and partnerships ahead.

This Ramadan, let’s join hands to protect our youth and steer our city away from the shadows of gang culture. By looking out for one another and leading with compassion, we can build a safer, stronger Manchester for everyone. May this month of mercy bring peace to our streets and unity to our hearts.

24 HOURS OUTSIDE. ONE REALITY.

154 PEOPLE sleeping rough.
4,500+ CHILDREN without stable homes.
12,700 EMPTY HOUSES.

THIS ISN’T JUST STATISTICS — THIS IS REAL LIFE.

We stepped outside for 24 hours…
Many don’t get to step back in.

IT’S TIME TO CARE.
IT’S TIME TO ACT.

What an incredible evening! 🌟

Last night, I had the honour of attending the Caribbean & African Health Network (CAHN) Black History Awards Gala 2025 in Manchester — a truly inspiring celebration of achievement, connection, and culture.

It was a proud moment to see Father2Father win an award for their outstanding work, and I was especially delighted to see my good friend Courtney Brown recognised for his powerful contributions to our community.

A huge thank you to CAHN for hosting such a meaningful event and for their ongoing commitment to uplifting and celebrating Caribbean and African communities across the UK. 👏🏾

Best Wishes,

James CEO of FAV
