About
About Us
We experienced many challenges when we re-located from Uganda to the UK. Unable to work for several years due to immigration controls, we were dependent on help from churches, family and friends for our daily needs. Through finding ourselves in this situation we discovered that many immigrants face similar and sometimes worse difficulties. We also realised that there were very few organisations dedicated to offering the kind of practical help that would make a lasting difference.
Our Experience
Many people lose hope when circumstances are hard but we knew that by reaching out we could help others rediscover their skills and talents and improve their situation. We set up a very successful initiative in Glasgow in 2008 which gave immigrants access to the resources and opportunities they needed. Day-to-day we provided practical support and assistance from personal coaching, to advice on financial & legal matters, writing CV's and applying for jobs.
Why Radiant & Brighter?
Based on our experience and encouraged by our friends, we made a decision to do something. That something is what became Radiant and Brighter, acquiring it's Community Interest Company status in 2014. At Radiant and Brighter, we envision a community that is caring, a community that works together to bring about positive change. We believe everyone is uniquely gifted and has the ability to change their lived reality. Together, we can all make our communities Radiant and Brighter.

Testimonials
Young person from CEMVO “Young confident and Connected” leadership program The character building workshop ran by Radiant and Brighter had a lasting impact on all of us, students, graduates, and even those among us that have successfully run social enterprises. We were taught the value of our time, how to really play to our strengths every day and break down our own personal barriers to achieve any goals. All of which I am sure anyone would agree, are excellent life lessons.
CEMVO Business to Business
I was an assistant professor at a university in my country but found it hard in my new community. I came to Radiant and Brighter for an English language class. I now attend three classes and the information and guidance I receive have changed my life in many ways. I think differently and more positively about the situation am in and most of all I know my next step. The support has been very helpful especially as it helped me better focus on mine and my children’s future. I understand a lot more about the community I live in and how it works. I had been to many other organisations before, but coming to Radiant and Brighter, I found a home and made good friends. The information is not just academic, it is practical and classes are more than that, they are a family with close relations.
