Tuoyo, who is from Nigeria, set up Heart of Africa nearly a decade ago with Kenyan-born wife Caroline and their friend Sharon Keegan, and the social enterprise developed into opening a cafe in Cambuslang in 2019. Along with his food, Tuoyo has also brought Afrobeats dancing to the LDVG sessions, and added: “They all get into it, and we really enjoy ourselves.”
The project was selected as one of the finalists from nearly 500 entries across the 10 categories for the annual awards run by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations, which “celebrate the best of Scotland’s voluntary sector”.
