BAYO means ‘Joy has found us’ in Yoruba and it is a space to find collectives, organisations and services from across the UK — for the Black community — to support your mental health and wellbeing, and it is run by The Ubele Initiative.

We are continuously adding new organisations to the directory and have a link that you can use to tell us about organisations that have been useful to you that others may like to know about.

If you are a community based organisation or individual that provides mental health and wellbeing services to diverse young people from the black community, we will like you to join the BAYO platform and automatically become a member of the Enterprise Network which provides you with access to free bespoke learning packages, peer to peer support, networking and access to a small grant program.
