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. You have spoken about what has brought hope\, what has caused pain\, and where change is needed\, and senior leaders want you to know that they have been listening.This gathering is an opportunity to respond to what has been heard. 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.
