What we need 2018/19/20‌ CULTURAL & DIVERSE ACTION WORLDWIDE DOCUMENTING OUR ELDERS We would like to document our elders all over the world to ensure we are capturing not only events but to include thoughts, feelings and emotions that are also affiliated with them. Just like today we all know how we feel/felt about BREXIT‌In times to come it will be the feelings we remember more than the event that connect our histories.

HERITAGE CENTRES To make the West Indian Association of Service Personnel (UK BASED) a Heritage Centre in London for the permanent remembrance of the African/West Indian history. Their 40 -year presence in Clapham as well the legacy of the West Indies contribution to Britain since the formation of the West India Regiment 1795.

BlackPoppyRose

We aim to start bridging the gap between the Elders, Adults, Teenagers, and Children to start handing over information and certain levels of responsibilities, which comes with delivering and telling the stories of the past. To help each group to identify if there are any similarities between what we face now and what they faced before.

This we aim to start in London & Leicester and spread throughout the UK and World. To be able to host permanent exhibitions and artefacts and for the elders to have a safe place to engage, share, teach and learn. PERMANENT MONUMENTS / EXHIBTIONS The African / Black / West Indian influences and contributions to the UK and world which needs to reflected. It is time we came together to incorporate our history within our home.
