About FoC

A home from home, since 1996.

FoC brings together Cameroonian and affiliated professionals living across the UK. Members meet every quarter, each time in a different city in England, to support one another, share what they know and plan the work they do together.

1996: the year the Club was created
4: gatherings a year, in cities across England

Two homes, one community

What is built here reaches home.

The friendships, skills and resources members build in the UK are put to work in Cameroon. Every gathering, contribution and project is a line drawn between the two.

In Cameroon

Change that lasts.

For three decades the Club has made a sustained impact in three areas.

Academic advancement Promoting and celebrating excellence in education.
Economic empowerment Backing enterprise and merit.
Human rights Supporting initiatives that protect them.

Belonging

A shared identity, wherever you are.

Membership offers a professional network, mentorship, welfare support and a strong sense of belonging, for members and for the generation growing up after them.
