Black History Month
We are delighted to launch our Black History Month 2025 campaign, a month-long celebration of culture, heritage, and community. Throughout October, we invite you to join us for a diverse range of events and activities designed to educate, empower, and inspire. Black History Month is a vital opportunity to honour the contributions of Black people, to reflect on shared histories, and to create spaces where voices are heard, stories are celebrated, and communities are strengthened. Together, we celebrate pride in people, pride in culture and look forward to an engaging and meaningful programme for all.

Spotlight on Black Irish Athletes
As part of Black History Month, we are shining a spotlight on Black Irish athletes who are making waves both nationally and internationally. This feature will highlight their incredible achievements, resilience, and dedication from the pitch to the track, from grassroots to professional levels. By showcasing these inspiring figures, we celebrate the talent and determination of Black Irish sportspeople and encourage our community to take pride in their successes. Their journeys remind us of the power of representation, the importance of diversity in sport, and the role that visibility plays in inspiring the next generation of athletes.
