"Our community is our strength."

The National African & Black Association (NABA) is a UK non-profit dedicated to the legacy of Sheku Bayoh. NABA is a Scottish-based, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting equity, inclusion, and improved access to public services for African and Black individuals across Scotland.

We work in partnership with institutions to assess the impact of policies and practices, deliver cultural awareness and anti-racism training, and foster meaningful engagement between public services and the communities they serve.
