Hull Ethnic Minorities Community Centre

HEMCC is a charity based in Hull which aims to advance the education and training of members of ethnic minorities within the local area, so as to assist them to adapt within a new community. We provide English Language classes in both ESOL and IELTS in order to allow refugees to gain vital language skills which will help them to integrate within British society.

At HEMCC, we have a team of volunteers who are qualified, friendly and competent first language speakers. The Centre was founded in 2006 by Sefa Akkirec, and for the last few years, has been run by a management team of 4 trustees. Since the opening of the Centre, HEMCC has assisted hundreds of learners from over 50 different nationalities gain the English Language skills in order to integrate within British Society, in order to gain sustainable employment.

Our work in numbers

At HEMCC, we are proud of the work we do for the community. Every number tells a story — of a learner gaining confidence, a volunteer making a difference, and a community growing stronger together. From our very first class to the hundreds of lessons and thousands of hours of support we now provide, these figures show the real impact of our work and the lives we’ve touched along the way.
