Somali Community Parents association(SOCOPA)

SOCOPA is rooted in the community it serves. Our offices are in St Matthew’s in Leicester and many of our programmes serve the community there as well as attracting people from across the city. SOCOPA exists to meet the needs of Somalis, East Africans, and anyone building a home in Leicester. Our community faces many challenges, such as inequality, poverty, language barriers and isolation. SOCOPA works for the betterment of the community through a range of services including English classes, youth clubs, skills training and culture nights.
