Services
Empowering our community since 1995
ACAP provides culturally responsive programmes that help Black African and Caribbean children, young people and adults in Bradford thrive.
Our work brings together arts and culture, youth development, health and wellbeing, education and employment support. We create welcoming spaces in which people can express themselves, celebrate their heritage, build supportive relationships and develop the confidence and skills to pursue their ambitions.
Our programmes are shaped by the people we serve and respond to the barriers they experience, including financial disadvantage, racial inequality, poor mental health, social isolation and unequal access to education, employment and creative opportunities.
Explore our current projects and services. Activities may run at different times throughout the year, so please follow our social media pages or contact ACAP for the latest information.
