Bakare
BA
(Hons)
Ayo Bakare works as youth mentoring project
coordinator at the Media trust, managing a
government-funded initiative aimed at reducing
anti-social behaviour. She also serves as a
committee member of a community interest company
providing training, awareness-raising and events
aimed at the growing mixed-race population. She is
a consultant to REWM on youth affairs, sport and
mixed-race issues. |
While
studying social policy at the University of Birmingham, she
undertook a work placement at Race Equality West Midlands,
where she was encouraged to write a funding application to
the Big Lottery for a project on the heritage of young
people of mixed race. The application was successful.
After her graduation with an honours degree in social
policy, she went on to fill the job of project officer at
REWM for the mixed-race heritage project, developing her
considerable knowledge and expertise in this field as the
project progressed.
Ayo
pursues a wide range of interests, including playing women’s
rugby and keeping fit. As a person of mixed race herself,
she is strongly committed to voluntary public service,
self-help projects, and promoting good race relations.
