Connecting Cultures. Empowering Minds. Building Community
Welcome to AFRIKANA
Afrikana CIC is a welcoming social enterprise designed to bring people together, offering a space where the community can connect, share ideas, and exchange valuable information.
Our mission is to support immigrants in seamlessly integrating into life in Carlisle and Cumbria by addressing key challenges such as cultural adaptation, community inclusion, and mental well-being.
As the region continues to evolve, we aim to create awareness around the positive contributions of immigration and foster a culture of understanding and support. Afrikana CIC is committed to promoting mental health care, encouraging open dialogue, and building a stronger, more inclusive society for everyone, both new arrivals and long-standing residents alike.
