The Windrush Generation
The African Caribbean Research Group has been supporting celebrations of the Windrush generation in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire. See what we have been doing so far and what to expect in the near future.
WHO WE ARE
We are a non-profit organisation, and we help people struggling in poverty and isolation in the United Kingdom, the Caribbean and around the world. We are concerned with the disadvantages in the African Caribbean diasporas, Caucasians, Orientals, Asians and other diasporas in the Cambridge community. Through research and voluntary support, projects have been initiated to enhance people’s life skills as well as the quality of life in these communities. Our concerns are:
- High poverty rates
- High level of isolation
- Connecting cultures

WHAT WE DO
Loneliness and isolation
Loneliness is a dominant contributor to the decline in personal well-being, which is linked to an increase in health issues. We have isolated three potential factors that increase loneliness in the African Caribbean Communities.
Tackling poverty
The recent Social Metrics Commission (SMC) report published the increase in deep poverty among British families over the last 20 years in the UK. It was found that 46% of African Caribbean families were living in poverty, which was mostly due to the impact of Covid-19 and its on-going affects.
Connecting cultures
We believe that cultures should be open for everyone to enjoy. Exposure to different cultures promotes connections, tolerance and understanding. The African Caribbean Research Group celebrates cultures and strives to nurture communications between peoples with different cultural heritage.
Provide a helping hand
We can’t make it alone. We need your help. Your small help can bring a big change.
We need you and your help
It’s impossible to help people without people helping others. We always need volunteer who love to help.
