This October, we're proud to celebrate and this year's theme,
Led by our Race Employee Resource Group (ERG), Black History Month is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the contributions, achievements and experiences of Black people across our communities, history and society. It also shines a light on the everyday contributions of educators, carers, volunteers, advocates, community leaders and many others who help shape and strengthen communities across the UK.
At YMCA St Paul's Group, we see the importance of community every day. Across our organisation, from our Children and Youth Services, our service users, our resident groups and our staff, we are proud to support diverse communities where people feel included, valued and belong.
These colourful flags were decorated by children attending our Breakfast and After School Clubs, reflecting the diversity, culture and community that we celebrate throughout Black History Month and beyond.
Throughout October, YMCA St Paul's Group will be sharing stories, resources and opportunities for learning as we come together to honour our communities and celebrate the people who make a positive difference every day.
