To promote Bristol to the community, to help support small events and large events and spread the word on what a great place Bristol is to live in.
As the largest centre of culture, education and employment in the South West, and with growing influence across the UK as a vibrant and diverse place to live, work and play, Bristol is a city to be proud of.
It is our passion for our city, and our desire to provide clear and easily accessible information to residents and visitors alike that has inspired us to bring you the eckhoBristol website. A comprehensive and feel-good one-stop shop offering you information, news and events to help ensure that you’re always up to date and never miss out.
To celebrate African and Caribbean Culture, History and Future. This is to help in us all having a greater understanding of ourselves, who we are, How beautiful we are, and our role in relation to the community as a whole. Even more important the understand what makes them unique, but also what makes them the same with the rest of the communtiy. From this understanding and realisation the communities can better relate, better engage and ultimately Unite.
Afrinique has three strands.
The Website- This will be launched Late October and will be a portal for everything African. It will contain information to the Cultural traditions of over 20 African Caribbean Tribes. Country information, Tourist information should you wish to visit a number of countries. Events listings, News and a Directory.
