Jamaica Heritage Links
Jamaica Heritage Links is a UK-based charity registered under the number 1087138. The organization has undergone several name changes, previously operating as Jamaica 2000, Jamaica 2K, and Big Up Jamaica before adopting its current name.
Mission
Jamaica Heritage Links focuses on promoting knowledge and understanding of Caribbean heritage, including languages, culture, and shared histories. The charity aims to advance education and lifelong learning, support social inclusion, and foster good relations between different groups within the community. It encourages the development of skills, talents, and capabilities among young people and adults[2][3].
Activities
The organization supports various educational initiatives, including developing educational links with Jamaica, researching, and providing education and training related to Jamaican language and culture. One of its notable achievements is the "Widening Horizons" project, which established links between UK and Jamaican schools in several regions[5]. Additionally, Jamaica Heritage Links has worked on projects recognizing Caribbean languages and cultures, receiving awards such as the CILT Languages Award for Jamaican Language and Culture[5].
Refocusing Efforts
In 2020, the charity refocused its activities to concentrate on projects within Jamaican communities in the UK, particularly supporting recognition of the Windrush Generation. This shift involved partnerships with organizations like the North Wales Jamaica Society and the Welsh Government to explore projects such as "Windrush Words"[4]. In 2023, Jamaica Heritage Links collaborated with Learning Links International and Justice for Windrush Generations on "Black History Conversations," aiming to address the challenges faced by Windrush victims[4].
Financial Overview
As of the financial year ending February 2023, the charity reported no gross income but continued with certain expenditures[3]. The financial reports reflect its operational challenges and adjustments during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond[3][4].
Conclusion
Jamaica Heritage Links plays a vital role in preserving and promoting Jamaican culture and heritage within the UK, while supporting educational and community development initiatives. Despite financial challenges, the charity continues to engage in meaningful projects, particularly those related to the Windrush Generation and intergenerational cultural exchange.
