Black History Month: "Time for change: Action not words"

Black History Month takes place each October and, in previous years, has celebrated key figures and recognised pivotal events in Black history. This year, the focus is shifting slightly to recognise the achievements and contributions that Black people make in the UK every day – from people who worked on the COVID-19 frontline in hospitals, care homes, schools, supermarkets and warehouses, to the young people leading the way for equality, to the household names using their platforms to push for change. Black history is being made every day and October is dedicated to sharing and celebrating these stories.
