AFGC was founded on the belief that First Generation Asians are often overlooked in terms of integration, especially when it is not in one’s culture to actively speak out even when help is needed. We are a new charity aiming to empower the Asian community in the UK, particularly those whose families did not grow up locally. We provide three main opportunities for our beneficiaries:
1. Knowledge Sharing and Support (e.g., FAQs on visas, tax, renting)
2. Social events and bonding (e.g., get-togethers during ethnic holidays)
3. Career advice and networking (e.g., tips on interviews, workplace culture)
The community has grown organically since its launch 12 months ago, currently comprising a team of 10, including trustees, project managers, and volunteers. We are seeking a passionate and motivated team member to expand our reach further.
