Our Purpose
WHY WE'RE HERE
ACSN will act as an umbrella organisation for the collective interests of African and Caribbean student Societies (ACSs) across the UK.
Our aim is to help amplify their impact by building capacity and fostering collaborations.
With more than 90 ACSs established in different institutions, we think they present a unique opportunity to empower university students and alumni of African and Caribbean heritage.
