Your Partner in Parenting

We support African families in the UK to thrive through culturally informed parenting and community integration.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support African parents with the knowledge and tools they need to parent effectively in the UK while preserving their cultural identity. We aim to reduce the number of children from Black African communities entering child protection or foster care by providing early guidance and culturally informed interventions.

Through training, parenting programmes, and befriending services, we empower families to navigate UK laws and parenting norms with confidence. By promoting understanding and integration, we help parents create safe, nurturing home environments where their children can thrive. Together, we work towards stronger families and better outcomes for children.

Together, we build stronger communities!

Join us at EPACUK and connect with a community that understands your unique challenges. Together, we can create a brighter future for African families in the UK!
