Windrush 75 Network Meeting
Event type: Network MeetingDate: 14/03/2023
Location: Online
British Future coordinates the Windrush 75 Network, which meets every two months to discuss plans for celebrating the 75th anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush.
The Windrush 75 Network aims to make 2023 a year of celebrations to mark the 75th anniversary of the Windrush. Everybody is invited to take part. The network helps to broaden public recognition of the contribution of the original Windrush Pioneers, as well as increasing public understanding of the history of race and migration to Britain across the decades.
We are hosting our next Windrush 75 Network meeting online on 14 March from 6pm – 7.30pm. Get in touch with us if you’d like to get involved at info@windrush75.org
