We can’t create the inclusive culture and community that we all desire until we start healing ourselves and become more aware as individuals. Once we understand why we behave a certain way, we can use that knowledge as fuel to instigate positive change, becoming more powerful with the decisions we make, and the actions we take. We take an active role in shaping our own lives and lead the way forward for others. About our mission OUR APPROACH. We create very intimate, compassionate and confidential spaces. We use a tried-and-tested sequence of interactive elements; empowering individuals with the necessary tools and information for continuing their own learning and growth journey. Our sessions sometimes offer the unique opportunity to openly share and learn from each others' experiences without judgement; building resilience, strength and community together in the face of our collective adversity.

Windrush Generation The "Windrush generation" refers to Caribbean migrants who came to the UK between 1948 and 1971 as a result of the British Nationality Act giving members of British colonies the right to live and work in Britain. The name "Windrush" comes from the HMT Empire Windrush, which was the first of the ships carrying these migrants to dock in the UK. The Windrush generation had a significant social and cultural impact on British society, filling the post-war labour shortage and enriching the UK with Caribbean culture, music and art. The 1971 Immigration Act should have allowed the Windrush generation permanent residency in the UK but in 2018 it was revealed that the UK Government had destroyed landing cards belonging to Windrush migrants, leaving many unable to prove they were in the country legally and thus at risk of deportation. This has come to be known as "The Windrush Scandal". < Back to Glossary
