Celebrating Black History Month

Celebrating Black History Month 2021

Black History Month (BHM) gives us all the opportunity to celebrate the outstanding contributions of Black people in the UK and learn about, and tackle, racial inequality and social injustice.

For BHM 2021 the NHF used our platform to shine the spotlight on leading Black figures in social housing including BMENational members who have excelled in their fields and helped shape our sector today.

Check out the range of content and activities we produced throughout the month.
