Black History Month 2022

October is Black History Month. This national celebration aims to promote and celebrate Black contributions to British society, and to foster an understanding of Black history in general. It's a time when we not only celebrate diversity and inclusion, but also raise awareness of some of the barriers Black people face. The theme this year is 'Time for Change: Action Not Words.’
