Welcome to AfCD
AfCD was founded with the mission of promoting community building and social transformation in diverse and under resourced communities through specific and measurable approaches designed to enhance the capacity of individuals especially from the Black Asian Minority Ethnic group, helping them to define their own path to bring about social change. 

 

Social transformations and community development can only occur in a society that is just, free from all forms of oppression and is culturally dynamic.

 

To meet the needs of these individuals we will work with our networking partners to provide information, advice and guidance, ample training resources and community engagement in developing responsible and active citizens.
