- Empowering wellbeing, both mentally and physically -
ABOUT US
​​
Welcome to Self Khair, formerly known as
The BAME Project!
We are a newly transitioned CIC, based in the heart of Bury, Greater Manchester, which was set up in 2025.
​
We have created this website so that new and existing service users can see what we are all about, and to also share our amazing journey with you all.
It's great to have you on board. We can't wait to continue our journey and share our success with you!

OUR PURPOSE
Self Khair exists to reduce social isolation and improve wellbeing among women in Bury, particularly those from South Asian
and BME backgrounds. We create safe, supportive spaces where women can connect, build confidence, improve their health,
and rediscover a sense of identity and purpose beyond traditional roles.
The organisation was founded through lived experience, responding to gaps in support for women who felt isolated,
disconnected and unseen. Self Khair provides a lifeline for women who may otherwise remain socially excluded.
OUR VALUES
Self Khair is guided by values shaped by lived experience and community voice:
