Join us for an impactful two-part in person event in the Houses of Parliament to launch Black Inclusion Week 2024.
About this Event

Join us for the monumental launch of Black Inclusion Week at the prestigious Houses of Parliament. This groundbreaking event marks the commencement of a week-long journey dedicated to fostering inclusivity and driving positive change within our society.

At the heart of our launch event are two pivotal discussions: "Organisational Practices Driving Inclusion" and "Empowered for Change: Building a Better Future Together." The former delves into the strategies and initiatives that organisations can implement to cultivate inclusive cultures, while the latter explores the collective power of community engagement in shaping a better tomorrow.

As we gather in this historic setting, we unite in our commitment to champion equity and inclusion for the Black community. Together, we strive to create a future where every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every individual has the opportunity to thrive.

Join us as we embark on this transformative journey towards a more inclusive society.

Together, we can build a future defined by unity, compassion, and shared prosperity.
