The contribution of the Windrush Generation & their descendants is celebrated annually on Windrush Day in the UK on 22nd June. The day marks the anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush at Tilbury Docks in 1948 that carried passengers from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and other Caribbean islands.

These statement pins are all inspired by the Windrush Generation, taking key slogans from the Windrush Collection.
