Windrush Foundation celebrates in 2015 its 30th anniversary. In 1995, Samuel Beaver King and Arthur Torrington (co-founders) began work on establishing a CHARITY which delivered heritage and community services, helping to strengthen the identity of people of Caribbean heritage living in Britain. Sam was the one to have led the first Windrush commemorative event (he 20th anniversary) in 1968. He was a passenger on the ship Empire Windrush, and a former RAF WWII serviceman; the first Black Mayor of Southwark, London. Sam was first to have used the term, ‘Windrush Generation’, and had been referring to the passengers who arrived at Tilbury Docks, Essex, on June 22, 1948, on the Empire Windrush. Sam was the founder of Windrush Day.
The event on Saturday 21 June 2025 from 6pm to 8.30pm is celebratory and includes a diverse audience Tickets are free: info@windrushfoundation.com
