The West Bromwich African Caribbean Resource Centre are committed to the principle of African Caribbean communities having full and fair access to services and provisions that enhance the quality of life and the life chances of African Caribbean communities. Our comprehensive range of services benefit large sections of the local African Caribbean population in particular older people, young people, and general adults. Particular beneficiaries include older people with disabilities, young people in need of additional education and emotional support, those at risk of unplanned pregnancy and those facing social isolation due to employment status. |
| HIstory
West Bromwich African Caribbean Resource Centre evolved as the direct result of collaboration between 4 small African Caribbean Voluntary Organisations in 1984.
After realising that they all shared similar aims and visions for the local African Caribbean Community they jointly made an approach to Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council for a facility to be made available to cater for the variety of needs exhibiting in the local African Caribbean community. After a series of meetings with local government and central government departments, a building was acquired at Thomas Street West Bromwich. An organisational constitution was worked out and agreed and a voluntary management committee made up of 2 representatives from each founder member organisation was formed to steer the work of the organisation whilst funding for workers was obtained to carry out the vision.
