Active black and/or Caribbean societies in London or South East

[Jamdown123]

Hi there

My sister is looking to get more involved associations that are invested in supported Caribbean culture in the UK, are involved in charitable work in Caribbean and / or are just very black focused. She wants to volunteer and get involved really.

Does anyone know of any? I remember there were some organisations that were really energised by the 2012 Olympics, there was the Jamaican hut in the village etc. She'd love that sort of thing but today's version.

Let me know?

Black Cultural Archives in Brixton maybe?

Perhaps, rather than generic ‘Caribbean culture’, it might be better to consider any particular interest or skills she has and consider where they might best be applied. So, local:

Legal centres

Theatres

Museums

Art galleries

Adult education

Crafts centres

Community gardening projects

Schemes that fund and organise holidays for ill, incapacitated or financially deprived children.

Any or all of these might be run by, prioritise, or involve people of Caribbean heritage. Don’t know if this is the sort of thing you meant but it’s a more contemporary way of doing charitable work.

I tried looking into this, I am a Rotarian and wanted to focus on black causes. Unfortunately non of the organisations I reached out to responded back to me.

Isn’t busspepper an events organiser?

It is an events organiser but you can attend an event to meet the Caribbean community and take it from there
