Black History Month
October marks the start of Black History Month in the UK. Celebrate the achievements of Black individuals and deepen your understanding of racial equity and justice.
Hello Yellow for World Mental Health Day
On October 10th, "Hello Yellow" raises awareness about mental health. Wearing yellow shows support and breaks down stigma.
Hate Crime Awareness week

As these dates approach, we will provide further information so be sure to keep checking the newsletters.
