Our latest logo 🙌🏾
21 Jun 2025
To celebrate 77th Anniversary of HMS Windrush's maiden voyage, see our updated logo. It gives a nod to Luton's millinery heritage and to the Trilby hats and many, many variations of ladies hats worn by the Windrush pioneers. They influenced many designers.

I asked the Windrush Commissioner Clive Foster if he feels his voice makes a difference to the Home Office. He says it’s not ‘just his words’ that will make a difference but that it ‘requires a commitment’ from govt.
It’s coming up to a year since he was appointed
The Windrush Commissioner WONT be pushing for the compensation scheme to be independent from the Home Office despite a new report that recommends the scheme be moved following victim’s concerns over HO’s ‘conflict of interest’ & being ‘unfit for purpose’ thecommunityreporter.co.uk/p…

Being denied compensation 8 times is ridiculous! The Windrush compensation scheme needs to be moved away from the Home Office.
Hetticia, 70, was hospitalised twice in one month from the stress of dealing with the Home Office’s Windrush compensation scheme.
‘It has taken a toll on my physical health, my emotional and mental health’
She & her husband have been denied compensation a total of 8 times

"Racism in the UK is not and has never been fringe.
"It’s structural and baked into the DNA of Britain manifested in each and every institution. It’s been part and parcel of the British system and Black people’s lived experience from the start"

Belfast wasn’t just ‘unrest’: it was racist vigilante violence that’s becoming dangerously normalised
Recent rioting in the city highlights how far-right violence is becoming more open, organised, and tolerated amid the failure of political leaders to properly confront it.
