The organisation’s philosophy is to create a culture where we are facilitating and generating opportunities for African heritage voices to be truly heard. Another fundamental part of the organisation is to build the capability of African heritage people, as well as other disengaged groups via information, education and collective action. 

To do this the African Heritage Alliance is structured with six distinct workstreams, each with a delivery team made up of partners and volunteers and a workstream lead to set the direction and strategy for the team.
