To Support Our Cultural Heritage

Join our campaign to re-open the West Indian Cultural Centre

'Friends' Our Mission 

The Friends of The West Indian Cultural Centre (FWICC) was formed to work with the African Caribbean Leadership Company (ACLC) to raise the profile of the centre, harness the support of the wider community, to restore and preserve our legacy.  We must empower the ACLC to hold the council accountable for all contractual responsibilities, while also delivering services reflective of the communities need.

Preserving our heritage

"We stand on the shoulders of giants who were pioneers in every field and made many sacrifices in an hostile environment". 

‘For far too long the black community has had no voice in Britain, and we are seeking to redress that.’

Bernie Grant - MP for Tottenham 1985 - 2000

He officially opened The West Indian Cultural Centre in 1987 alongside Ms Etta Khwaja 

"I look forward to speaking with ACLC and hearing about their future programme so we

can work to find a solution that serves our community in Haringey".

Peray Ahmet - Leader of the Council

"The Friends of The West Indian Cultural Centre have been instrumental in fostering a stronger sense of community and cultural understanding. We are deeply grateful for their efforts."
