AFiUK CIC primarily exists to serve the interests of British African diaspora and other racially minoritised families, particularly first and second generation migrant families where the children are navigating a ‘third culture’ between their parents’ first culture and the host country as a second culture.
AFiUK Colchester and Oxford is one-stop place for families of African and other ethnic minority origin, resident in the UK, seeking advice or information, on matters relating to parenting, children’s education and any family-friendly activities that enrich family life.

“AFiUK workshops have been really interesting and opened my mind to things such as appreciating motivational skills, resilience and positive thinking.
The workshops have helped in my ability to express myself freely to be more conscious about the future and how to achieve my goals.” and I’m really happy that it has boosted my public speaking and confidence levels.
“It has built my character personally, having a lot more confidence speaking in larger crowds and mainly working in a team. Secondly, it has increased my patience.
The workshop that had a big impact on me was in goal setting and motivation. It has made me rethink about what I really want in life and how to push myself in reaching it.”
