The Woolwich SIMBA Project: Building Black Community at the Margins

The Woolwich SIMBA project was one of the largest and oldest African and Caribbean Community organisation in the London Borough of Greenwich. It provided housing, general and specialised counselling, youth services, African-Caribbean culture, history, music production, photography studio, nursery, education, sporting activities, specialised clubs for the elderly and much more.

As Black communities continually face policing, gentrification and discrimination, this project is an attempt to show that another politics is possible, and to gather and tell the many stories of a strong community who created and resisted for decades.
