“I am happy to be able to give back to the community though becoming an AFRUCA Champion.”

AFRUCA employs a volunteer-led approach to address many of the issues that affect children in Black and ethnic community across England. The idea is to create a ripple effect of change through peer-to-peer learning and active citizenship. We have devised a range of Community Champions initiatives focusing on a range of issues, including Modern Slavery, Child Protection and Female Genital Mutilation. Over 400 volunteers have been involved in our Community Champions initiatives, helping to promote new knowledge within their own community as active citizens.
