Black History Month- October
October is Black History Month in the UK; a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the rich history, culture, achievements and contributions of Black communities, both past and present.
There’s plenty happening across Croydon throughout the month, with events offering opportunities to learn, connect with others, enjoy new experiences and celebrate Black culture and heritage.
The BME Forum has put together a programme of events taking place across the borough. Why not take a look via the link below and see what catches your interest?
Annual General Meeting 2026
A reminder that our Annual General Meeting (AGM) will take place this Thursday 8 October, from 1.30–3pm.
To help the AGM start promptly, lunch will be served a little earlier at 12 noon. Please note that Dance and Social Group will both finish at 12 noon.
Social Group will take place in the IT Hub and will be led by Anneliese, while Maria is on holiday.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our AGM!
Nicola’s Note
I’m really looking forward to seeing so many of you at our AGM this Thursday. It’s quickly become one of my favourite events in the calendar, bringing us together to celebrate all that we’ve achieved and to look ahead.
A quick reminder that lunch will start a little earlier at 12 noon to give us time to set up before the AGM begins at 1:30pm. If you have any questions, please just ask.
Last week we had an unexpected surprise when our Lottery Grants Officer accidentally turned up a week early for the AGM! The upside was that she got to meet many of you in the hall during lunch and see Croydon Vision as it really is, full of conversation, laughter and energy. She loved it, and it was wonderful for her to see first-hand the difference that National Lottery funding will help us make over the next three years.
See you on Thursday for what promises to be a fantastic afternoon.
Have a great week.
Nicola
Puzzle of The Week

Skiing officials allegedly announce accidents will soon require immediate attention
(Please scroll down for the answer…)
A: “require”. It’s the only word that doesn’t contain double letters.
