Celebrating Black History Month

In the UK, Black History Month is celebrated every October, offering an opportunity for everyone to share, celebrate, and gain a deeper understanding of Black heritage and culture.

At Silvermere Care Home in Cobham, this year’s Black History Month was marked by a vibrant event that brought together residents, staff, and guests in a spirit of unity and appreciation for diverse cultural experiences.
