The Suffolk Black Community Forum was primarily formed to create a platform for Black people living and working in Suffolk to come together to discuss ways of working together to create an equitable community that benefits all.

It is an inclusive forum building a consensus on co-ordinated relationships with community stakeholders and to build bridges with all other communities across Suffolk, identify challenges around inequalities and how best to work with the wider community to bring about positive change.

Our mission is to advocate for an equitable society where people of Black heritage and culture can have equal opportunities, raise aspirations and expectations, instill African Cultural & Heritage values, improve the health and wellbeing of our community, use business to inspire and implement solutions to solve problems and develop partnerships to create economic equity that benefits all communities.

The Men & Boys Movement is a forum that provides a platform for Men and Boys of Black and Mixed Black Heritage to learn from one another, discuss issues as well as share ideas and celebrate our common heritage.

This statement forms part of our full terms and conditions (under development) and demonstrates our commitment through the work we are currently engaged in, to build new and enhance existing partnerships with key stakeholders that will help us focus our work through collaborative thinking to develop strategies and services that challenges racism, discrimination and inequalities impacting the lives of Black people.

A complete terms of engagement document will be uploaded here once completed.
