Arab British Centre

About Arab British Centre

Since its establishment in 1977, the Arab British Centre has served as a vital bridge fostering friendship and collaboration between the people of the United Kingdom and the Arab world. Founded in response to poor media representation and widespread misunderstandings about Arab culture, this London-based cultural organisation was established with generous support from H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan El Nahyan and a collective of British organisations committed to cultural understanding. Over four decades, the Centre has remained steadfast in its founding mission while growing and diversifying its work to serve an expanding community of individuals and organisations. Today, the Arab British Centre operates as a registered charity supporting more than thirty resident organisations, providing them with subsidised workspace and access to valuable professional networks. The organisation's approach centres on promoting Arab culture, sharing knowledge, and building lasting connections through cultural and artistic events that resonate with London's diverse communities. By hosting a thriving community of like-minded institutions at its central London location, the Centre creates meaningful opportunities for cross-cultural dialogue and collaboration. The Arab British Centre represents a longstanding commitment to enhancing mutual understanding and respect between British and Arab communities through accessible cultural programming and institutional support.
