A free community day in celebration of Black History Month will take place in Wood Green this weekend.

On Sunday (15th) The Ubele Initiative will be hosting a community day as part of its Black History Month celebrations. Throughout the day, there will be a range of activities and workshops such as African and Afro-Caribbean drumming; art workshops for all ages and skills and ‘green skills’ workshops on sustainable living, gardening, and environmental stewardship.

The Ubele Initiative is an African-led community organisation that aims to empower Black and ethnic minority communities in the UK to encourage social and economic change.

The Ubele Initiative said: “Join us in celebrating the rich history and contributions of the Black community during this special month. Let’s come together to strengthen our community bonds and create lasting memories.”
