WINNER OF THE QUEEN'S AWARD FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE IN 2019

Descendants is a history and arts-focused organisation aimed at children and young people aged 4-16, primarily but not exclusively of African and Caribbean descent. Our main focus is on African and Caribbean culture; we explore history, we experiment with art, craft, music, drama and dance.

Our Motto

UMOJA MEANS UNITY -“Education is our right. We strive for excellence. We are talented, ambitious and gifted young people. We aim for the sky."

Descendants Charity have set up a Just Giving page raising money to support the family of Disebo Mokhuane, a Descendants member in South Africa, and to demonstrate she was loved and appreciated.
