Today is , celebrating the contribution Caribbean migrants and their families have made to the UK.

Elaina Ible was one of the first five black nurses to work at the L&D. She travelled from the Caribbean to Luton in 1960 where she began training as a student nurse.

Elaina’s daughter, Dionne Ible, created a mosaic to honour the Windrush Generation and the Caribbean families whose hard work, resilience and determination helped shape Luton. Each piece of the mosaic represents an individual story, coming together to form a collective legacy that continues to enrich the town today.

The artwork has been loaned to the L&D and is currently on display on the first floor of the Surgical Block.

Dionne said: “As a first generation child of Luton’s Caribbean community, it was important for me to create work that reflects the legacy, contribution and lived experiences of those who came before me.

“Despite facing discrimination and many challenges, the Windrush Generation helped build communities, raise families and create opportunities for future generations. Pieces of Legacy celebrates their achievements and honours the enduring impact they have had on Luton, reminding us that every contribution, no matter how small, forms part of our shared history.”

Our volunteers visit and spend time with Dementia patients staying on our ward, supporting them with gentle exercise, taking part in activities and helping with basic self-care.

Living with Dementia can feel lonely at times, the companionship provided by our amazing Forget-Me-Not volunteers means that patients feel less isolated and are given the support and company they truly deserve.
