About us

Who we are

UWA Social Enterprise is a not-for-profit community organization registered in England and Wales under company house number 13686469. Our mission is to empower individuals and transform communities by bridging gaps in access to essential services and opportunities.

Our Vision

We envision a world where everyone has the tools, resources, and support to thrive. By addressing the root causes of inequality, UWA fosters meaningful change, enabling individuals to improve their quality of life and achieve their full potential.

UWA Kitchen aims to fill the gap of food inequality through the provision of culturally inclusive meals and snacks. It is an innovative idea that we want to grow and develop more services that will bring revenue to support 80% of service users. Through UWA Kitchen, we will bring families together to share cultural values, better our social connections, and improve how we engage and participate in social or financial activities.

UWA will continue to grow and develop through innovative partnerships and research collaborations locally, nationally, and internationally
