"The Africa Centre belongs to all of us. It was gifted to the people of Africa over 60 years ago," said Olu Alake, CEO of The Africa Centre charity. "Now we need our community to help us ensure that it will be around for at least another 60 years."

Titled 'Run for The Africa Centre', the campaign calls on the African and Caribbean diaspora and allies to protect a vital cultural home. At a time when community connection and wellbeing are under increasing pressure, and shared cultural spaces are steadily disappearing, the campaign offers a rallying point that combines culture, fitness, and collective action.
