Full Comprehensive Report Condensed Report

Full Comprehensive Report:

70+ pages of in-depth insights, sentiment analysis, lived experiences, and strategic recommendations across education, youth, media, and cultural infrastructure.

Condensed Companion Report:

A 10-page summary of key findings and priorities – ideal for quick reference and wider sharing.

Let this be a turning point for how Caribbean identity is seen, supported, and sustained in the UK.

Why This Matters

Caribbean culture in the UK has long been visible — but not always recognised. Beyond food, music, and festivals, many in our community ask:

  • How do we hold on to our heritage?
  • Why do younger generations feel disconnected?
  • What does true representation look like?

This survey offers answers, capturing real voices from across generations and islands.

Key Findings

  • 8% maintain active cultural ties, but younger generations report surface-level connection.
  • Fewer than 10% feel Caribbean contributions are fully appreciated in UK society.
  • Code-switching is common but emotionally draining.
  • Churches, food, and family traditions are vital to cultural preservation.
  • Cultural pride is high, but infrastructure is fragmented and underfunded.

 

“For years growing up, I thought Black people didn’t do anything worthwhile in the world — it added to my low self-worth.”

Survey Participant, 100 Caribbean Voices

A powerful reminder that cultural representation isn’t optional; it’s essential.

Community Voices

“The ‘100 Caribbean Voices’ report is a bold, insightful, and deeply necessary work that amplifies the experiences of the Caribbean community like never before.
It shines a light on both the triumphs and struggles, offering a raw and compelling narrative backed by powerful data.

This report is more than research—it’s a movement, a rallying cry for change, equity, and representation.

It challenges perspectives, sparks conversations, and demands action.
A must-read for anyone passionate about justice, progress, and the true power of Caribbean voices.”

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning. We’re calling for:

  • An Emancipation Remembrance Day UK
  • Caribbean heritage in school curricula
  • Mentorship and intergenerational storytelling
  • Investment in cultural infrastructure
  • Stronger community coalitions and unified Caribbean voices

Read the report, share it, and help shape the future of Caribbean identity in Britain.
