The theme for Black History Month UK 2025 is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride,” a powerful tribute to the resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to progress that defines the Black community across the globe.
This year, we want to highlight the profound contributions made by Black people, be they leaders, activists, or pioneers who have shaped history, while also looking towards a future of continued empowerment, unity, and growth.
The Renewal Programme is proud to host a series of events that celebrate this resilience, pride, and community, taking place throughout October.
The events include:
