Windrush Day was introduced in June 2018 on the 70th anniversary of the Windrush migration.
After World War II, the United Kingdom’s economy needed to be repaired. In doing so, the British government recruited Afro-Caribbean migrants and offered them jobs. These jobs included jobs in the service sector, such as running public transport and staffing the new National Health Service in the United Kingdom.
73 years on, we still celebrate the Windrush generation and work with our members to support all those affected by the Windrush scandal
