SUMMARY:Gathering for Global Majority Heritage Communities
DESCRIPTION:In recent months\, members of our Global Majority Heritage (GMH) community have shared their experiences with honesty and courage through a survey and individual conversations.

Rooted in humility\, dignity\, and care\, it will be a space of openness rather than defensiveness\, where every voice is valued and every experience treated with respect. The gathering aims to help us move from listening toward real cultural change – living out racial justice not just as an aspiration\, but as a shared\, lived reality.Event DetailsDate: Tuesday\, 17th MarchTime: 2pm to 3.30pmVenue: Windrush Millennium Centre\, 70 Alexandra Road\, Moss Side\, M16 7WNAll members of the GMH community are warmly invited to attend.
