BAFA Community News:
On Saturday 10th June 2023, five volunteers undertook interview training delivered by Louise Chandler. Over the months that followed, they approached members of the local Caribbean community seeking their agreement to share their Windrush stories.
The link below are the interviews they have undertaken. In addition to the individual interviews, there is also a recording of an event from 28th October 2023 entitled 'A Conversation with Windrush Elders' hosted by Dr Marcia Burrowes from University of West Indies, Cave Hill campus.
