This organisation was formed out of a need identified as a result of a programme run by Community Action Network between 2002 and 2005 directed by Shola Lana, which introduced social enterprises as a form of engagement, which could contribute to community regeneration through black majority churches.

Shola’s work created lasting links as a result with churches, organisations and individuals in; Leeds, Leicester, Nottingham, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Manchester, Cardiff and various areas of London.

These have now grown to include; Southampton, Liverpool, Plymouth, Newcastle and many other areas in the South East. Nexgen Initiatives provides services, which are really needed among the black and minority ethnic community in the United Kingdom.

We pride ourselves with having a very good knowledge of and personal relationships with our target groups and are currently working in partnership with local groups, businesses and national organisations in different parts of the country.

This including Community Action Network, Managing Business for Christ, In Business for Christ, Faith Based Regeneration Network, Southwark Action for Voluntary Organisations, West Yorkshire African Caribbean Council of Churches among others.
