The Deyika Fund was set up in honour of Deyika Nzeribe who was an inspiring member of the Green Party of England and Wales, and sadly died suddenly during his campaign as 2017 Green candidate for Greater Manchester Mayor. The Deyika Nzeribe Fund was set up to support the engagement, development and election of Global South heritage candidates.
Deyika was a former Chair of the Manchester Green Party, having joined the Party in 2010, and had represented the Party in his home community of Hulme in a number of elections. He was also a key member of Greens of Colour. But his activism was not just party political.
All in all, Deyika was involved in a diverse range of causes, but there were common themes: inspiring creativity, fighting poverty and austerity, tackling racism, promoting equality and defending the environment.

What if I have caring responsibilities?
This course strongly encourages participants to attend all sessions to aid the peer to peer network for the group.

We have allocated some budget to support those with caring responsibilities and without external support, attending this programme would not be possible. Please get in touch with us if you feel this would be of benefit to you.
