This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Windrush generation. Over the years, we have supported our communities to channel their creativity and share their stories. We are incredibly proud of our Caribbean residents in Westminster and the fantastic, often understated, role they play in our communities. It is vital that we continue to support those who experienced racism and discrimination and overcame the huge challenges of leaving their homes for the generations that followed.
