Description
The African and Caribbean Society (ACS) is a vibrant and inclusive student-led community dedicated to celebrating and promoting the rich cultures, traditions, and histories of Africa and the Caribbean.
We strive to create a welcoming space for students of African and Caribbean heritage and those who appreciate these cultures. ACS fosters a sense of belonging, unity, and empowerment. Through engaging social events, educational discussions, and networking opportunities, we aim to showcase the beauty and diversity of African and Caribbean identities while addressing important topics that affect our communities.
Our society is open to everyone, regardless of background, and we encourage all students to join us in building friendships, attending BOP –Winchester's biggest student night- and making lasting memories. Whether through cultural showcases, panel discussions, music and dance nights, or community outreach, ACS is committed to celebrating diversity and making a positive impact on campus and beyond.
Join us and be part of a dynamic community where culture, connection, and empowerment thrive!

MEMBERSHIP T&Cs
Where an activity group (sports team/society/representational network) has a competitive element or other external factors that affect the number of participants, your membership may be subject to criteria other than joining the group via this website. If this results in your membership not being able to be accepted, you will be informed (with any relevant details) and your membership will be refunded.
Membership will not normally be refunded if you cease being a student, if you voluntarily end your membership, or if you are subject to disciplinary action that removes your membership status.
CODE OF CONDUCT
By joining this activity group you are confirming your compliance with Student Union policies and bye-laws, particularly as it pertains to conduct, personal safety and acceptable behaviour.
Initiations: At no point should you feel pressured to drink and get involved in what others are doing, for example to join in with drinking games or ‘challenges’, if you don’t want to. If you are part of an activity group it is completely your choice whether or not you attend a social event. Activity groups are prohibited from carrying out initiation ceremonies, or any initiation-type behaviour, either on or off campus. If you ever feel pressured to take part in social activities as part of an activity group, we would strongly encourage you to report it to us here: https://www.winchesterstudents.co.uk/report It is our upmost priority that you feel safe engaging in Union activity, and there is support available for you if you have experienced or witnessed anything that made you feel uncomfortable or concerned you.
