North Lanarkshire’s Cultural Committee is inviting people to join in the celebrations for Black History Month at Jerviston Community Centre on Friday 24 October, from 11.00am to 2.00pm.
The event was due to take place earlier in the month but had to be cancelled due to storm Amy.
It promises a lively and welcoming atmosphere, with live entertainment, children’s activities, and delicious food from a variety of cultures.
It’s a chance for the whole community to come together, learn, and celebrate the rich contributions of ethnic minority communities to society.
Councillor Ayeshah Khan, North Lanarkshire’s Equalities Champion, said: “Black History Month is a time to honour the achievements, culture and history of ethnic minority communities.
“Events like this help us build understanding and celebrate the diversity that makes North Lanarkshire stronger.”
Everyone is welcome, and entry is free. To register, please visit: Black History Month North Lanarkshire, 24th October 2025
