Although Friends is a relatively new organisation, it already has Chapters in a number of Commonwealth countries and is planning to establish many more.
We aim to develop by a variety of means a wider appreciation of the Commonwealth; to increase awareness of the vast opportunities it offers to its citizens so they are understood and utilised. Our aim is to encourage a Commonwealth-wide network of Friends to share more, learn more and achieve more and to build support so that more people can benefit with a better quality of life. We look to encourage young people to participate in community projects.
To meet these aims all across the Commonwealth our objective is to develop National Chapters in Commonwealth countries, usually on a ‘franchise’ basis with a reputable partner organisation in a particular country.
