A disproportionate number of Bangladeshis living in the UK are experiencing high rates of poverty and deprivation and continue to fare worse on a number of key socioeconomic indicators compared to all others. The purpose of a National Regeneration Strategy for the Bangladeshi Community is to influence national and regional governmental and non-governmental polices and actions required to meet the socioeconomic development needs and aspirations of the Bangladeshi community in the UK. 

A five-year strategy that will build the necessary infrastructures and programmes needed to bring about a positive change at the national level so that the Bangladeshi Community no longer regarded as a ‘disadvantaged’ ethnic group in the UK by 2030. Development of a National Strategy will involve: 

• Engaging the community in 1-1 conversations and workshops.
• Convening current and future community leaders.
• Undertaking intergenerational dialogues.
• Connecting with local authorities.
• Connecting with policymakers.

Get involved

Whether you represent a Bangladeshi Community and Voluntary Sector Organisation, local governmental or non-governmental agency or a community activist, student, homemaker, employed, unemployed or working – or anyone interested in the development of the Bangladeshi community in the UK– we invite you to talk to us to shape the strategy.

Closing date for the 1st stage of the consultation is 31st April 2025.
