Who We Are
A Community United by Caribbean Heritage
From the Community
Established in 2008 and gaining charity status in 2010, Friends of the Caribbean (FOTC) is a local charity whose primary objective is to promote cultural, social, educational, health and economic activities among our community in the Milton Keynes area and the wider UK and Caribbean region.
Where possible we act as an umbrella organisation for existing UK Caribbean Diaspora groups, connecting communities and creating a stronger, more unified voice for Caribbean people in Britain.
“
We are punching way above our weight as an organisation with very little financial resources. The work we do gives real expression to the term “mi likkle but mi talawa”.
