Alive are very pleased to be supporting the Elders Project which consists of three social clubs attended predominantly by the Afro-Caribbean community in St Paul’s and Easton.
The Malcolm X Elders, Evergreens, and Golden Agers groups have provided a vital lifeline for over 150 Caribbean Elders in Bristol over the past five decades.
About the Groups
The Caribbean Elders Groups are vibrant, welcoming spaces where friendship, culture and wellbeing come together. More than just social gatherings, these dynamic groups empower people to stay healthy, active and connected.
Designed to promote inclusion and wellbeing, the groups work closely with community and health partners, and creatives, to foster joy, address health inequalities, and deliver activities that truly make a difference. Members are active leaders, shaping the programme and bringing a participatory spirit to everything we do.
Current activities include exercise, music, singing, sewing, drama, arts and crafts, and day trips throughout the year. We also host health checks and informative sessions with speakers from health and wellbeing organisations, charities, and local agencies on topics such as managing health conditions, energy saving, home safety and positive mental health. This year we are excited to engage with younger members of the community and will be hosting a range of activities that support multigenerational connection.
Celebrating the rich culture of the Caribbean Islands through food, music and traditions, the Elders Groups are inclusive and open to everyone regardless of background who wants to share in the joy of community, culture and connection.
