Where we come from
Fourah Bay and Fullah Town are historic settlements in the East End of Freetown, Sierra Leone — cradles of scholarship, faith and culture whose story stretches back generations. Our families carry that legacy wherever we go.
About Us
Our Heritage. Our Home.
The Fourah Bay Fullah Town Collective (FBFTC) is a community body uniting indigenous Fourah Bay and Fullah Town families across the United Kingdom. We exist to reconnect our people, preserve our identity and pass our heritage on to the generations ahead.
Why the Collective exists
In the UK, our community is spread across many cities. The Collective creates the meeting ground — the events, conversations and networks — that keep us bonded as one people.
