We’re ready to go at Sophia Gardens this morning for a day of learning and celebrating the progress of organisations who have undertaken our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Cultural Competence Scheme! 🎉

This year’s theme is Celebrating Changemakers, focusing on showcasing and celebrating leaders in Wales and beyond who are pioneering cultural competence and its impact on anti-racism. Let’s get started! 🙌

Fantastic to host our 'Developing an Anti-racist Mental Health System for Wales' session yesterday with support from Ethnic Minorities & Youth Support Team - EYST Wales and Mind Cymru.

Some really productive conversations and opportunities to plan practical steps that both Welsh Government and third sector organisations can implement to move towards an actively anti-racist Wales.

We're looking forward to putting the plan into action over the coming months.

What a fantastic way to round off 🙌

It was brilliant to celebrate the rich multicultural history between Wales and the Democratic Republic of Congo last week, with an unmissable concert featuring Congolese and local musicians! 🎶As part of Adferiad, we were delighted to sponsor the event alongside Bay of Colwyn Town Council and Networking for World Awareness of Multicultural Integration - NWAMI.
