UAA promotes African culture and heritage
United African Association, a registered charity in Northampton, was established to advise, support, advocate for, and represent organisations and individuals within the African community.
Organising events, projects, and activities, we aim to promote African culture and heritage among people in the UK while fostering community cohesion.
Our service is not only to the African communities alone but to all those who need support in society and do not know where to turn to.
What We Do @ West Northamptonshire
Most of the families we support have “No Recourse to Public Funding” (NRPF).
Through our food bank project we are able to support them with fresh and cooked meals. This brings a lot of smiles to the faces of many families.
We partner with other organisations in various humanitarian projects to help families through giving food vouchers, and winter clothing vouchers in West Northamptonshire.
We extend our hands of love to families, give them hope and make them feel welcomed in the society.
