Reclaiming narratives: Black History Month

1st October 2024

Today marks the start of Black History Month 2024, with an inspiring theme of ‘Reclaiming Narratives’.

This theme is not just about revisiting history. It’s about taking ownership of the stories that define Black culture, contributions, and identity. It’s about ensuring that voices are heard, experiences acknowledged, and contributions celebrated – all close to our hearts as a local Healthwatch.

This theme encourages us to shine a light on the untold stories, the unsung heroes, and the everyday individuals who have made a huge impact on our communities.
