Read MoreAmplifying Voices. Building Collective Power. Influencing Systemic Change.
Together for Inclusion, Development and Action (TIDA) is a migrant-led organisation based in Manchester, working alongside migrant and diaspora communities to advance inclusion, strengthen leadership and influence systemic change.
We work with women, children, young people, families and disabled people, creating opportunities for communities to have their voices heard, develop their potential, build collective power and shape the decisions and systems that affect their lives.
We believe lasting change happens when communities are not only supported but empowered to lead and influence change themselves.
Our three areas of work
Community Voice, Power and Action
Supporting communities, particularly women and young people, to raise their voices, organise, campaign and influence the decisions and systems that affect their lives.

Women’s Leadership and Empowerment
Building the confidence, skills, networks and leadership of women from migrant and diaspora communities so they can take an active role in shaping their communities and wider society.
Read MoreOur Past Projects and Initiatives
Over the years, TIDA Initiative has implemented programmes and campaigns in different locations, working to promote social inclusion, youth participation, democratic engagement, gender equality and community empowerment.
Our project history reflects our commitment to addressing social challenges, amplifying underrepresented voices and creating opportunities for individuals and communities to participate in positive social change. From youth violence prevention and democratic participation initiatives in West Africa to disability empowerment and community storytelling in the United Kingdom, these projects represent important milestones in our organisational journey.
We continue to build on the experience and lessons gained through these initiatives as we pursue our mission of creating inclusive, empowered and resilient communities.
