Black History Month

Black History Month UK - an International annual month, celebrating, recognising and valuing the inspirational individuals and events from within the community. During Black History Month, we remember and celebrate the important people from the past and also who contribute to and help our society today. First celebrated in the UK in 1987, Black History Month in the UK is marked annually during the month of October.

More information about Black History Month and black history can be found here: https://www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk/. This year's theme pays homage to black women who had contributions ignored, ideas appropriated, and voices silenced. To ensure real change, we must all work together to drive it through. Being an ally means moving beyond short-term or performative gestures and taking real, long-term action
