Together
we rise

A volunteer-led community in Northamptonshire, rooted in mutual care and celebration. Born in 2016 from a moment of collective grief, we've grown into a vibrant network that supports in crisis, celebrates milestones, and champions mental well-being — welcoming people from every background.

Why we exist

Building community
through care

We believe in the power of community to uplift every member through life's journey — in times of joy and challenge alike.

Shared support

We pool resources — financial and emotional — to support members during bereavement, illness, and unexpected life events.

Celebrating achievements

From graduations to new births, we honour life's joyful moments together, ensuring no success goes unnoticed.

Mental well-being

In partnership with local organisations, we address mental health needs in the BAME community and beyond.

Empowering youth

We invest in the next generation by recognising and nurturing their achievements, helping them shape a brighter future.

How we operate

Transparent, fair,
and collective

Our guiding framework is a Memorandum of Understanding which ensures transparency, fairness, and collective decision-making. Members contribute monthly to fund events and offer support. While our in-person gatherings take place in Northampton, we're expanding digitally to connect members across the UK — and ultimately, worldwide.

What people are saying

As a member of Jambo UK, I have found a sense of belonging to a group of people who value and take into account their members and support each other with respect and dignity.

Ezekiel Nyamondo
Member

The Jambo UK community has a big heart. We live, grow, love and definitely celebrate as a family. Spending time with the members of this organisation and engaging with the activities is as enriching as it is fun.

Mya Enane
Youth Leader

Being a member of Jambo UK has been fulfilling. It's a place where we have found a home away from home and more importantly, offers members a sense of belonging and a natural fallback.
