Festival & Freedom Walk: A Celebration of Glasgow’s African & Caribbean Heritage
The African and Caribbean Network (the Network) is the umbrella and co¬-ordinating body for the African and Caribbean communities in Glasgow. The Network consists of 23 African and Caribbean organisations and community groups. We promote the inclusion of African and Caribbean people in Glasgow as equal and valued members of the community; we want to end discrimination by telling people about our contribution to the city, by finding ways we can work together, and by increasing our role in all areas of the city’s life.
