Who we are
About Barnet African Caribbean Association
Barnet African Caribbean Association is a small but long-standing registered charity dedicated to supporting older people from African and Caribbean backgrounds. Many of our members live with long-term health conditions such as the effects of stroke or dementia.
We run a weekly cultural day centre on Tuesdays, where we bring people together to enjoy a hot meal, social activities and companionship. From exercise classes, arts and crafts, quizzes and games, to health visitor sessions, our programme is designed to promote wellbeing, reduce isolation and celebrate culture. We also provide advice, information and outreach support beyond the day centre.
Our culture and values
Our mission is simple: to promote the wellbeing of our service users and help make later life fulfilling and enjoyable. Central to this is empowering older people to have a say in shaping the support they receive, setting priorities and making decisions that affect their lives.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
Barnet African Caribbean Association is committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone is valued and respected. We celebrate diversity and welcome people from all backgrounds, recognising the strength it brings to our organisation and community. We are dedicated to ensuring that our services, activities and opportunities are accessible, fair and free from discrimination.
