Consortia of Ethnic Minority Organisations (COEMO)
COEMO is an umbrella organisation formed in October 2000 by a number of community organisations from the black and ethnic minority voluntary sector who felt that a representative body was now crucial if the black and ethnic minority sector was to survive and develop in a climate which required an increasing amount of collective collaboration. 

COEMO works to:
-Raise the profile of BME organisations
-Provide infrastructure support to BME organisations
-Organise networking and consultation events
-Undertake reserach activities within BME sector
-Act as an advocate for BME voluntary sector and the wider community with local government, central government and other relevant institutions
-Represent the ethnic minority voluntary sector on partnerships and decision making bodies at local, regional and national level

COEMO currently represents views and aspirations of over 200 organisations involving the following communities: South Asian Communities, African Communities, African-Caribbean Communities, East European Communities, Filipino Communities, Asylum Seekers and Refugees.
