October marks Black History Month. It is an important occasion to recognise and celebrate the invaluable contributions of black people to British society.
This year’s theme, ‘Saluting our Sisters’, plays homage to black women who had contributions ignored, ideas appropriated, and voices silenced.

Buckinghamshire Mind encourages all of our community to find ways you too can take part in learning and celebrating this important campaign. Below are some great organisations that offer useful and insightful resources.
