About

The African Community Centre (ACC) was founded by Mrs. Uzo Iwobi in 2003.The proposal for the centre was based on a survey of Africans living across Wales, which revealed that Africans living in the area would welcome a centre where they would be able to meet socially and participate in promoting African culture in the community.

Since then, with the support of many organisations and a lot of hard work, the organisation has gone from strength to strength,becoming a company limited by guarantee, achieving charity status in 2008 (Charity no: 1124327) and catering to over 700 people across Wales.

The African Community Centre (ACC) is operated by the African/African Community in partnership with indigenous Welsh people throughout Wales.

ACC currently has its main office based in Swansea.
