We held our first Windrush event in Stockport in Partnership with Ebony and Ivory Community organisation Founder Aba Graham. Aba Graham is an Equality activist who advocates for all things equality, but in particular ‘Race Equality and we are so grateful that we get to do great work together.

The aim of this event was to deliver an informal, structured and engaging experience for those who attended. The day was full of rich discussions and this allowed for all participants to share their thoughts on the structural systems that ‘the Windrush’ was born. We had a speaker from self-thought Historian Mark McKenzie who understands the structural systems, that ‘the Windrush’ was born and provided some insight into the impacts that it has had on today's society.

Our Windrush event in Stockport was a great success and we are looking forward to hosting more events for our community!
