UK Latin Community CIC is a non-profit organisation based in London that empowers children, young people, and families through sports, arts, food, and community wellbeing programmes. We believe that everyone deserves opportunities that build confidence, creativity, and connection. Each year, we engage more than 900 participants across Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, and Greenwich, working with local partners to create safe, inspiring spaces where communities can thrive. Our mission is simple — to bring people together, nurture potential, and strengthen community bonds across generations and cultures.
Our Origins
UK Latin Community CIC began in 2018, when a group of Latin American residents from across London came together to support one another through culture and community action. After two years of grassroots projects, the group formally registered as a Community Interest Company (CIC) in November 2020. From day one, our vision has been rooted in inclusion, empowerment, and cultural pride — giving every child, young person, and family the opportunity to belong, participate, and thrive.
Our Vision:
A connected and inclusive London where children, young people, and families from all backgrounds feel valued, supported, and proud of who they are — growing together in confidence, wellbeing, and community spirit.
Our Mission:
To empower communities through sports, arts, culture, food, and education, creating safe spaces that inspire learning, friendship, and belonging. We work hand in hand with families, schools, and local partners to build healthier lifestyles, stronger relationships, and brighter futures for every participant.
