Who We Are...

The Harrow African-Caribbean Association (HACAS) is a voluntary community organisation formed in 1991 to bring together the African-Caribbean people, who live in Harrow.

Through our motto 'Unity is Strength' we aim to promote the well-being and interest of our members; provide them with a meeting place; support individuals including the youth and elderly; take up their concerns with statutory bodies such as Local and Central Government in respect of Health, Education, Employment and Training; provide leisure and cultural activities for members and the wider community.

Successful Grant Application:

We have been successful in securing funding from the National Lottery Funders to add an extra fitness level for the community, which is an all-important factor for the general well-being of everyone. We have introduced a Salsa Class, alongside our regular Keep Fit Classes, which takes place every Friday at the Methodist Church Hall, Locket Road, Wealdstone HA3 7ND. Both classes take place on a Friday between 11:00am & 12:45pm. To date, the Salsa Classes has attracted quite a few members who enjoy learning the specialist dance moves that is “very Salsa”.

Friday Club

Our Friday Club ensures that retired and elderly members have a place to meet; enjoy good African-Caribbean cuisine, keep fit, leisure activities including day trips and excursions and contribute to cultural and social events.

Dance School

The HACAS Dance School was established in 2002 and offers children and young people in the community, the opportunity to learn dance, mainly street but also other popular dance forms, to have fun and make friends.

Mentoring

The aims of the Mentoring project are to raise aspirations, increase confidence and academic achievement. We primarily work with black boys aged 11-16 irrespective of academic, social & economic background.
