Marking Black History Month and recognising the incredible contributions of the black community, not just this month but every day of the year!

This year’s theme of ‘Reclaiming Narratives’ encourages us to shine a spotlight on the untold stories, the unsung heroes, and the everyday individuals making a big difference.

To celebrate we asked a number of our patronages to highlight some brilliant people whose work is having a lasting impact 👇

Farah Saeed is the Lead Assessment and Resettlement Coordinator at @PassageCharity House. She helps recently homeless individuals transition off the streets into sustainable housing. Nearly 90% move into long-term accommodation with personalised care.

Dwayne Fields is an adventurer, TV presenter, and the UK’s Chief Scout. After seven years as a Scout Ambassador, he now encourages young people from all backgrounds to embrace the outdoors, helping them build self-belief and find role models. As a dedicated volunteer, he also inspires @scouts' 140,000 adult volunteers, motivating others to get involved.

Yasmin Liverpool is a former Great Britain 400m runner and previous beneficiary of @TeamSportsAid support. Since retiring, she has joined the charity’s National Awards Committee and also supports its work in creating more accessible and inclusive talent pathways.

Ama Agbeze MBE has been a trustee of @TeamSportsAid since 2020. The England netball legend, who captained her country to Commonwealth gold in 2018, mentors talented young athletes and supports the delivery of its mental health and wellbeing programme. She also helps guide SportsAid on enhancing its equity, diversity and inclusion work through her role on the Board.

Alero Omaghomi is a Sickle Cell Nurse who supports children with the disease through resources and equipment funded by @NHSCharities Together. She helps sick children stay engaged with their education when they have to spend long periods out of school.

Loveness Scott is the Positive Action Lead at North East Ambulance Service, engaging ethnic minorities to improve understanding of NHS services. She leads lifesaving workshops and supports the recruitment of community ambassadors. Her role is funded by @NHSCharities Together to address health inequalities and promote first aid.

Olivier Nsengimana is the Founder of the Rwanda Wildlife Conservation Association, which helps to protect the endangered Grey Crowned Crane in Rwanda. He trained as a vet and originally worked with gorillas, before founding the RWCA. Olivier was a @tusk_org Award for Conservation finalist in 2016.

Sandra Igwe is the founder and CEO of The Motherhood Group, a leading social enterprise focused on improving maternal health outcomes for Black women in the UK. Sandra also coordinates Black Maternal Mental Health Week UK and organises the annual Black Maternal Health Conference. @MMHAlliance

Thank you Birmingham! 

Athletes, mascots and an amazing atmosphere…. an unforgettable day for all of us at #B2022!

A real highlight was going behind the scenes with @TeamSportsAid and @TeamEngland Futures where the next generation of athletes and support staff are helped to perform at their best, handle pressure and make the most of their experience at major Games.
