Dear friends and supporters,
On behalf of the Walsall Community Association, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended our Windrush Day Celebration on Saturday 24th June. It was great day filled with joy, culture, music, speeches and an amazing atmosphere.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the attendees who joined us in celebrating the legacy of the Windrush Generation. Your presence & engagement made this event truly special. Together we continue to honour & remember the contributions of the Windrush Generation.
A special thank you to Maxie Hayles, who shared his personal experiences as a proud member of the Windrush Generation. He truly captivated us with his heartfelt words, shining a light on the challenges and triumphs faced by the Windrush Generation. His story reminded us of the resilience, strength, and invaluable contributions made by individuals of African-Caribbean heritage.
Throughout the day we had some incredible activities that many enjoyed. The bouncy castle brought laughter and fun for the children, while the face painting booth added a lovely touch of creativity and colour to the day.
The authentic Caribbean Cuisine and the awesome Steel Band provided a captivating experience. And let’s not forget the dominoes games that were enjoyed by so many on the day.
We would like to thank our resident DJ Hartley for providing an outstanding musical backdrop that entertained everyone throughout the day. Thanks must also go out to the hard working kitchen staff whose Caribbean Cuisine buffet was enjoyed by over 500 people, and to all the volunteers who helped to make the day such a success.
The success of the Windrush Day Celebration would not have been possible without the continuous support and participation of our wonderful community. We are genuinely grateful for each and every one of you. Your presence and involvement make a significant difference in the work we do, and we sincerely appreciate it.
We thoroughly enjoyed your company and the positive ambiance that you brought to the Windrush event. Your continued support for our organisation means the world to us. We look forward to seeing you again in the future as we continue our journey of making a positive impact together.
Warm regards,
The Management Committee
