This Thursday is the start of Black History Month in school. Black History Month is an annual celebration that honours the achievements and history of Black people, which takes place every October.
This year’s theme is ‘Honouring Our Communities.’ It is about recognising individuals whose contributions are part of everyday life, yet too often go unseen.
Across Britain, there are black individuals who show up every day for others. Volunteers who give their time without expectation. Teachers who shape futures far beyond the classroom. Nurses and carers who offer dignity and compassion in moments that matter most. Community leaders and organisers who bring people together, often working quietly, without recognition.
