Who We Are

About Our Charity 

Founded in 2008, Afreshe is a company limited by guarantee (SC344800) and a Scottish Charity (SC040235) that promotes heritage to nurture the esteem of African children, young people and adults towards prosperity though active participation in local communities. 


Working with parents, schools and communities as well as private and public institutions both within and out with the UK, the organisation espouses an African perspective to promote a richer blend of cultural diversity in Scottish society. 

By organising and participating in various activities that promote cultural heritage, we cultivate and nurture open and lively interactions among different generations of African and other communities in Scotland and in this way contribute to healthier social relations and more prosperous communities.
