What’s your top 10 Memories of the Decade?

As the decade comes to an end the team began to think about the past 10 years and the incredible experiences we’ve been privileged to share and be apart off in our quest to celebrate and promote our cultural heritage and the contributions made by people of African Decent based in Britain.

Being able to change lives through the development of local communities and driving social advocacy is a great success however it takes lots of dedication, hard work and an awareness to seek out sustainable economic support – mentions Antoinette Page (founder of Heritage Consultancy Network)
