Celebration of Windrush Day 2025

Overview

A celebration of Windrush Day is about acknowledging the contributions and sacrifices made by so many people from the different nations of the Caribbean who were invited to come to England to help with the renewal after the Second World War, as British subjects with British passports. They were employed in our transportation services, National Health Service, trades, public and private sectors, to name just a few. Please join us for a Caribbean lunch, refreshments and an interactive session, called, The A-Z ofWindrush.
