Welcome
- United African Association was officially launched on the 4th of July 2014 in Northampton.
The organisation was formed to Advise, Support, Advocate and Represent organisations and individuals within the African community.
We organise events, projects and activities that are aimed at promoting African culture and heritage to people in the UK as well as promoting cohesion in the community. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life of people in Africa by providing community outreach programmes through local participation and involvement.
Our activities include:
Sporting activities, summer barbecues and get togethers, attending local council meetings and public events, language courses e.g. Swahili, assisting at food banks, allotment digging, African drumming and dancing
Activities
We have an African drumming and dance group and sometimes perform at community events. We recently performed at an international dinner hosted by the Northampton Becket Rotary club who were fundraising for a school in Malawi. Some photos of the event are shown below. If you would like to join our group please contact us.
