We’re celebrating Black History Month across our offices with events that bring people together to recognise the achievements of Black communities and reflect on the stories that continue to shape our world. From vibrant displays and inspiring conversations to incredible food, including Jamaican patties, spice bun, puff puff and homemade Black History Month cupcakes, colleagues have truly embraced this year’s theme Standing Firm in Pride and Power. These celebrations are about connection, culture and creating space for voices to be heard. They reflect the values that sit at the heart of who we are.
