Ethos and Philosophy: The African ethos, Ubuntu – “I am because we are”.Ubuntu means humanity. The Ubuntu philosophy is based on values such as respect, human dignity, compassion, solidarity, and consensus. We at CreHeart have adopted the “Ubuntu” direction to develop and coordinate cultural activities. The aim is to improve the quality of life and fight against systemic inequalities among Afro-Caribbeans in Dudley.

Our Community Centre

One key determinant of people’s well-being is cultural identity, which gives people a sense of belonging and safety. Young people of Afro-Caribbean descent in Dudley are disproportionately disconnected from their cultural heritage, mainly due to being affected by poverty and socioeconomic deprivation.
