The growth of the Caribbean Community within Milton Keynes and surrounding areas highlighted the need for Friends of the Caribbean Association (MK) to be formed. Our primary objective is to promote cultural, social, educational, health and economic activities among our community in the Milton Keynes area and the wider Caribbean region.

We will where possible act as an umbrella organisation for existing groups within our community, bridging any existing gaps with other like organisations, hence providing a united voice for our community. This will enable the Caribbean Community to have a voice and to promote, the diverse mix of the West Indian culture. Strongly celebrating who we are, therefore building a community that is grounded in this region.

The Association is here to initiate exposure to organisations and social groups within Milton Keynes; progressively through charitable events, workshops, forums and different platforms including a full cross section of the community, from the youth to the older generation. We take extreme pride in our mentorings scheme for youngsters between 11 and 16.

If you love and care about the Caribbean people and region, welcome to an extraordinary opportunity. Come and join us and make your voices be heard. Please join us! Make a commitment today to a vibrant, vital, and developing people and region.

Our main challenge this year is to fully establish our mentoring scheme for youngsters between the ages of 12 and 18 in and around Milton Keynes. We do not receive any grants and raise all of our funds through donations and fundraising activities.
