Our Mission & Approach
Inclusion and respect for all.
Our Objectives:
-
- To raise awareness of the Commonwealth, its peoples, cultures and histories
- To promote social inclusion
- To celebrate diversity
- To support initiatives which reflect our values
We believe our City’s strength lies in its diversity and we are committed to promoting equality and respect through open dialogue, education and inspiration. As a registered charity we support initiatives which align with these objectives and we welcome contact from groups with similar values who are seeking a project partner or a meeting space.
Together we can make a difference.

Did you know that a third of the world’s population live in member nations and 6 out of 10 of those people are under the age of 30 years old. That’s around 640 million young voices!
The Commonwealth is a voluntary organisation made up of 56 countries which together form one of the largest influences for soft power in the world. Members of the Commonwealth come from territories in every continent and ocean of the globe representing many races, languages and religions. It is home to around 2.6 billion people, a third of which is under the age of 30.
The Commonwealth promotes the liberty of the individual and equal rights for all citizens regardless of race, colour, creed or political belief and their inalienable right to participate by means of free and democratic political processes in framing the society in which they live.
The Commonwealth has also long been at the frontline for action on critical environmental issues through the adoption of the Commonwealth Climate Change Programme and in 2018 the Commonwealth Blue Charter which is committed to rid the oceans of plastic and to ensure resources are used in ways that cause no further damage to the planet.
