Discussion will be centred around equality diversity and inclusion, whilst raising the awareness of important topics such as; good mental health, wellbeing, resilience, mentoring and outreach.
At Surrey County Council, whilst celebrating the achievements, the pride, the history, and the rich diversity of the Black African and the Caribbean community during the month of October, we will also be focusing on the human element transcending colour, race and ethnicity.
This ties in quite nicely with the national theme of Black History Month, this year:
“Time for Change: Action Not Words.’ To get to a better tomorrow, we can’t just focus on the past.
“The past is in the past. We can acknowledge and learn from it, but to improve the future, we need action, not words. We need to come together around a shared common goal to achieve a better world for everyone.”
Black History Month, October 2022
