Who we are

About the Angelou Centre

With over 30 years in service of Black and racialised women and children

The Angelou Centre is a Black-led organisation based in Newcastle. We specialise in supporting Black and racialised women and children at risk of experiencing domestic abuse and other forms of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).

We help women, children and young people recover after experiencing violence, abuse or unfair treatment.

We listen, we understand, and we never judge.

Our culture and values

Our Angelou Ethos are the core beliefs, they explain who we are, how we work, what we believe in and stand for. They reflect our culture here at The Angelou Centre.

Our Ethos

• Empowering Black and Minoritised Women and Children - Promoting Voice and Choice
• Promoting Equality and Justice
• Promoting Self Determination
• Challenging Oppression and Discrimination
• Transforming Lives

The Angelou Ethos is a living, working set of values which works together with, and underpins our Values. They describe what we should expect working for The Angelou Centre and define how we act, behave and treat each other, for the benefit of our women and children, including ourselves, and our community.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At the Angelou Centre, we’re committed to being an equitable, diverse and inclusive organisation for our staff volunteers, women and children.

For us this means:  

• being fair, impartial and providing equal employment opportunities 
• recognising, respecting and celebrating our differences 
• creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued
