y r o t s i H k c Bla Month We’re planning another informative and inspiring event to celebrate Black History Month. Last year, over 100 people came to our event which recognised and celebrated the culture, history and achievements within the BME (Black and Minority ethnic) communities. And we’re doing the same again this year! We’ll be holding an event at our Grosvenor House office, in High Street, Croydon on Saturday 22 October between 11am and 3pm. It will include food, music, dance, and performances from our Youth Forum. If you’d like to attend please contact our London Resident Involvement Team on 0800 121 60 60.
