Events are taking place to mark the 75th anniversary
Leaving their families back home - and the sunshine, people in Nottingham have acknowledged, praised and highlighted the Windrush Generation’s hard work and contribution to help making the UK what it is today. Thursday, June 22, marks 75 years since HMT Empire Windrush arrived in the UK with hundreds of passengers from the Caribbean.
Despite coming to the UK for a better life and contributing to rebuilding the economy, in 2018, the Windrush Scandal came to light.In April 2018 it emerged that some immigrants who arrived legally in the UK between the late 1940s and early 1970s were facing deportation and being denied access to healthcare due to paperwork issues.
Ms Williams made 30 recommendations including for Home Office ministers to admit that serious harm was inflicted on people who are British and to provide an “unqualified apology” to those affected and the wider black African-Caribbean community. “My mum has sadly passed away now but she worked in the NHS as a cleaner and then worked her way up to being a nurse.” Marcia’s parents were both from Clarendon in Jamaica.
There are many events being held on Wednesday, June 22, to mark Windrush Day in Nottingham including at the Beechdale Community Centre, the Haywood Community Centre and the St Ann’s with Emmanuel Church.
