💜 HATE CRIME AWARENESS WEEK | MONDAY WOMEN’S CIRCLE 💜

Creating safer, stronger and more inclusive communities starts with awareness, understanding and the courage to speak up.

As part of our commitment to supporting and empowering communities across Wales, Race Council Cymru is pleased to highlight this upcoming Hate Crime Awareness Session with South Wales Police, hosted by our Monday Women’s Circle at the Multicultural Hub, Swansea Grand Theatre.

📅 Monday 12 October 2026
📍 Multicultural Hub, Swansea Grand Theatre, Singleton Street, Swansea, SA1 3QJ

The session will explore:
💜 What hate crime is and why reporting matters
💜 How hate crime can be addressed
💜 The difference between hate crime and non-crime hate incidents
💜 The roles and responsibilities of the Hate Crime and Cohesion Team
💜 Questions, discussion and opportunities to share experiences

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and valued, regardless of their background or identity. By raising awareness and encouraging open conversations, we can help build communities where hate has no place and everyone feels supported.

Together, let’s keep learning, listening and working towards healthier women and stronger communities. 💜

💙💛❤️ WE STAND WITH FAMILIES ACROSS SWANSEA BAY!

We’re proud to support Hugs Not Handouts 2026, a campaign by Faith in Families raising awareness of the realities of poverty and showing children and families across Swansea Bay that they are seen, supported and valued.

Poverty isn’t always visible, and it can affect any family. No one should have to face hardship alone.

Together, we can help build a community rooted in compassion, dignity and solidarity, where every family feels supported and no one is left behind. ❤️

Let’s spread the message that support, understanding and kindness can make a difference.

A PROUD MOMENT FOR RACE COUNCIL CYMRU. ❤️

We are immensely proud to celebrate our Founder and Chief Executive, Professor Uzo Iwobi CBE, who has been nationally recognised by Black History Month UK as part of Honouring Black Britain 2026.

For more than two decades, Professor Uzo has dedicated her life to social justice, racial equality and civic leadership.

From establishing Wales’s first African Community Centre, to founding Race Council Cymru, influencing equality policy and creating platforms that ensure Black voices, histories and experiences are seen, heard and valued, her impact can be felt across Wales and far beyond.

But perhaps her greatest legacy is found in the people.

The young people she has mentored.
The elders whose stories she has helped preserve.
The communities she has stood beside.
The leaders she has encouraged to step forward.
And the doors she has opened so others can walk through them.

This year’s Black History Month theme is Honouring Our Communities.
We could not think of a more fitting recognition for a woman whose life’s work has been devoted to building, serving and strengthening community.

Professor Uzo, your Race Council Cymru family celebrates you. Your work is part of the history of modern Wales, and that history is still being written.

Congratulations, Professor. ❤️👏🏾

THIS IS WHAT MAKING HISTORY LOOKS LIKE. ❤️

Today, all of us at Race Council Cymru celebrate a woman whose courage, service and leadership have helped transform the landscape of racial equality in Wales: our Founder and Chief Executive, Professor Uzo Iwobi CBE.

Professor Uzo has been recognised nationally by Black History Month UK through Honouring Black Britain 2026, celebrating people whose leadership and service have made a meaningful contribution to Britain.

And what a journey hers has been.

She came to Wales and did not simply find a place within its institutions.
She helped build new ones.
She created spaces for African and Caribbean communities.
She challenged racial injustice.
She brought community voices into rooms where decisions were being made.
She championed Black Welsh history and helped ensure the experiences of our elders would not disappear from Wales’s national story.

Most importantly, she has spent years reminding generations of Black people across Wales that we belong here, our voices matter, our stories matter and our contribution matters.

Behind this photograph are decades of service, sacrifice, resilience and an unwavering belief in the power of community.

So today, Professor Uzo, we honour you.
We celebrate you.
And we thank you.

From everyone at Race Council Cymru, congratulations on this beautiful and richly deserved national recognition. ❤️🖤💚

Your work has made history. Your work is making history. And your legacy will help others make history too.

One day. One community. So many stories. 🖤❤️💚

The National Launch of Black History Cymru 365 at St Fagans was a celebration of heritage, identity, culture, creativity and community.

From powerful performances and inspiring voices to the joy, connection and pride shared throughout the day, these are the moments that remind us why our stories matter.

This year’s theme, “Proud to Be Me”, is more than a theme. It is a celebration of who we are, where we come from and the legacy we continue to build together.

Black history is Welsh history.
Our stories are Welsh stories.
And we are proud to be us. 🖤❤️💚

🌍 A Journey of Learning, Reflection and Connection: Windrush Cymru Elders in Ghana 🇬🇭🏴

We are delighted to share that Windrush Cymru elders are undertaking a Taith-funded educational trip to Ghana, creating a unique opportunity to explore, learn and reflect on the history of the Transatlantic Enslavement Trade and its profound impact on generations of their ancestors.

This journey is about more than visiting places connected to history. It is an opportunity to listen, learn and engage with the stories, heritage and experiences that have shaped generations of people of African descent. We are working with Professor Olivette Otele - our Wales based historian, meeting historians in Ghana.

During their time in Ghana, the elders will explore significant historical sites and deepen their understanding of the Transatlantic Enslavement Trade, while reflecting on the journeys their ancestors were forced to undertake and the enduring legacy of that history.

The visit will also celebrate Ghanaian culture, traditions, resilience and community, creating space to discover and strengthen the connections between African heritage and the lives and experiences of the Windrush generation and their descendants in Wales.

Most importantly, this journey provides an opportunity to bring Wales and Ghana together — connecting people, communities, cultures and shared histories across generations. Through meeting communities and sharing experiences, the elders will explore how meaningful and lasting relationships can be built between Wales and Ghana today.

By looking honestly at the past, celebrating culture and heritage, and creating new connections for the future, this journey represents an important step towards greater understanding, friendship and collaboration between Wales and Ghana.

This is a journey of remembrance, education, identity, culture and reconnection — honouring the past while building bridges between Wales and Ghana for future generations.

🇬🇭🤝🏾🏴 From Wales to Ghana — connecting histories, communities and generations, and bringing our communities closer together.
