Windrush Celebration 2025

Friday 20th June 2025 - Age UK Sunderland Hosted a Windrush Celebration in partnership with ACCANE & Fans Museum.
We were overwhelmed by the incredible turnout. It was truly heart warming to see communities coming together—sharing stories, heritage, laughter, and music in a vibrant expression of unity.
This event was a beautiful reminder of the strength found in collaboration, the richness of diverse voices, and the power of togetherness.
Thank you to everyone who made it so special!
