Every year throughout October people, schools, libraries, groups

History in order to

    Southwark’s new and established black and ethnic minority communities
  • Provide opportunities for informal learning

    Southwark’s diverse communities
  • Promote social cohesion by sharing histories and
    cultures

A limited number of Small (up to £500) and Large (up to £2,000)
grants are available to help achieve this

Each year has a different theme through which the programming is
guided. This year it is:  

‘Black history Month – Celebrating the past and  embracing
the future’

constituted groups and organisations wanting to run events, activities and
workshops taking place in Southwark from 1 to 31 October 2017 that are open to
all residents
