Organiser
UCOMM is a nonprofit charity organisation, originally created by Ugandans in Greater Manchester for the benefit of all people of black, Asian, and minority ethnic origin living in Greater Manchester and surrounding areas. We have recently extended our services to other areas beyond Greater Manchester, and the UK, with the aim of creating the possibility of collaborating with other charities, organisations, and individuals around the world.
Venue
Alexandra Park is located between the vibrant communities of Whalley Range and Moss Side, just off Princess Road and covers 60 acres. The Park was opened to the public in 1870 and was designed by Alexander Hennell. The design of the Park was experimental in its use of oval shaped and curved pathways, which contrasted with the more rigid geometry seen previously in Victorian landscapes.
The park has recently been re-developed with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Manchester City Council, the Lawn Tennis Association, English Cricket Board and Sport England bringing the original landscape and community facilities back to life.
