- Identifying training needs and providing specific training to groups
- Helping and supporting Members with Organisational Development and Capacity Building (such as Governance issues)

- Providing information and access to strategic decision makers whose decisions effect the lives of BME Communities
- Seeking to reach and recruit all BME Community groups to District networks
- Assisting groups to network with similar groups locally and regionally

In order to ensure we have the maximum impact possible, within the resources available to us, the Calderdale BME Network engages with other Key Networks and Forums, such as the Equality Forum.
