Black History Month

Today, we proudly witnessed the raising of the flag for Black History Month at the Porters Civic House by The Mayor of Southend-on-Sea !

At Welcome to the UK, we stand firm in our commitment to supporting people from all walks of life, especially those from diverse cultural backgrounds. Black History Month is not just a celebration of heritage, but a powerful reminder of the immense contributions made by the Black community in shaping the UK and the world.

By attending today’s event, we are reaffirming our dedication to promoting inclusion, unity, and the recognition of the rich history that has often been overlooked. Black history is UK history. As we raise this flag, we raise awareness and hope for a future built on equality and respect for all communities.

Join us in celebrating this important month by learning, reflecting, and honouring the contributions and achievements of the Black community! Together, we make our society stronger, more inclusive, and united.
