October is Black History Month – a time to honour and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Black people across the UK and around the world. It’s also a time to reflect on the ongoing realities of racism and inequality, and to think about how we can all help build a fairer, more respectful society.
To mark the month, Amica will be hosting a special awareness stall at Leicester General Hospital’s restaurant on 30th October. Everyone is welcome to stop by. Whether you’re curious to learn more, want to reflect, or simply pick up a resource to take away, the stall is there for you.
