We build self-organised and empowered capacity within the A&C communities through group training for fundraising, good governance, information sharing and partnership working.
We serve as the social/political interface between our various nationalities with other community, statutory and voluntary sector agencies on issues of discrimination in access to employment, education, health, housing and services - particularly for women and young people.
We are the only African-Caribbean-led agency actively promoting integration through social enterprise as a key poverty reduction strategy as members of the Scottish Social Enterprise Coalition.
We fight racism by promoting African & Caribbean Scottish cultural history, Pan-African unity and as expressed from communities themselves helps build Scottish public awareness of African needs.
We help avoid duplicating services already provided by African member groups – and provide the space and coordination to facilitate member group strategies for funding applications coming from different African communities.
