Who We Are

A platform dedicated to supporting all aspects of the Afghan community in the UK — from integration to heritage preservation.

Our History

Building on the foundation laid by Capacity for Afghanistan (C4A) in 2017, the Afghan British Council (ABC) has grown into the leading intellectual and cultural platform for Afghans in the UK.

We go beyond simple relief — constructing an end-to-end framework where Afghan communities are integrated into academic, social, and economic structures. Our work spans certified training courses, cultural events, professional networking, and global advocacy.

Today, we are proudly registered in England & Wales (Company No: 15667818) and continue serving the community from our base at Greenford Business Lounge, London.
