Windrush 2020 Online Celebrations

North Kent Caribbean Network in partnership with Kent Equality Cohesion Council helped to deliver the first online event in celebration of the Windrush generation. Poignantly the event took place on Windrush Day and had over 100 local community members in attendance. 

Civic guests also attended including Deputy Lord Lieutenant Dr Bhagwara Vasudaven, KCC Leader, Mr Roger Gough, KCC Chairman Cllr Graham Gibbens, Mayor of Gravesham Cllr John Caller and Inspector Craig West from Kent Police.

The event organisers chose to go online as they felt that this year’s celebrations were more important than ever in the midst of the ongoing racial injustice protests as well as the devastating impact Covid -19 has had on communities from a BME background.
