More Than a BBQ — A Community Movement
B-MAD COMMUNITY FUL SUNDAY
B-MAD Ful Sunday is more than just a weekly community gathering—it is a movement built on love, unity, respect, and community spirit. Founded by African Youth Collective Inc. (AYC), Ful Sunday was created to bring young people, families, and the wider community together while promoting peace, wellbeing, positive mental health, and strong community connections across Australia.
At B-MAD Ful Sunday, it is not only about sharing a traditional Ful meal—it is about building relationships, creating a sense of belonging, supporting mental wellbeing, raising awareness around Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD), and empowering young people to grow into confident leaders within their communities.
Prepared with care by our sister Nashra and supported by our chef Mohammed Ahmed, Ful Sunday celebrates the power of food to bring people together across cultures and generations. Every shared meal creates opportunities for meaningful conversations, mutual support, and lasting friendships.
Through connection, conversation, and community engagement, B-MAD Ful Sunday provides a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. The program encourages cultural exchange, community participation, and positive social interaction, helping to strengthen community cohesion and foster lasting relationships among people from diverse backgrounds.
Together, we are building stronger minds, stronger communities, and stronger futures—one meal, one conversation, and one connection at a time.
