Chelmsford Afghan Community
Welcome to the Chelmsford Afghan Community (CAC). We are a fully volunteer-run organisation created by and for Afghan residents living in Chelmsford and the wider Essex county. We are more than an organisation — we are a big family unit.
We are a family built by community — fully volunteer-run, created by and for Afghan residents in Chelmsford and the wider Essex county. We are committed to celebrating our heritage while building bridges with our wider home.
Building a warm, inclusive space for Afghan families and individuals in Chelmsford and the surrounding area.
Offering practical help and a caring network to combat isolation and help community members thrive.
Celebrating and preserving Afghan heritage, language, and traditions for future generations in the UK.

Join us as we proudly celebrate Istiqlal Day — Afghanistan's Independence Day. On 19th August 1919, Afghanistan reclaimed full sovereignty and independence. We will mark this historic occasion with cultural performances, traditional food, music, and reflection on what it means to carry our Afghan identity with pride in our new home. All members of the community and friends are warmly welcome.
Whether you are an Afghan family looking to connect with your roots, an individual with skills to share, or a local neighbour wanting to learn more about our rich heritage — our doors are open.
