Finding Your Roots
An exciting opportunity for a Bristol family to explore their Caribbean and African ancestry through a bursary and ancestry programme.
Black Elder Support
We organise cultural outings and social events to engage our local Black elders’ groups in civic wider society. We’ve organised events for groups including Malcolm X Elders, Evergreens, and Golden Agers, and brought them together with intergenerational projects such as UWE Generations.
Windrush Compensation and Citizenship Initiative
We worked with My Future My Choice to obtain citizenship and compensation for those who have suffered from the Windrush Scandal. https://www.myfuturemychoice.co.uk/bespoke-projects-/crossing-coasts
We also worked with the Crossing Coasts Heritage Project for schools as a heritage project for local schools promoting local stories of the Windrush Generation with an educational and empowering card game.
