Descendants is a history and arts-focused organisation aimed at children and young people aged 4-16, primarily but not exclusively of African and Caribbean descent. Our main focus is on African and Caribbean culture; we explore history, we experiment with art, craft, music, drama and dance.

Our charity aims to create an environment where children and young adults of African and African-Caribbean descent are able to learn and grow together by experiencing each other’s diverse cultures and traditions, while at the same time encouraging the children to learn new skills, utilise their talents and celebrate their achievements through various projects and events. These include weekly children’s clubs, museum visits, a range of creative classes and the annual Dr John Roberts CBE Q.C Achievement Awards, which recognises the accomplishments of young black students throughout the borough of Ealing.
