Black History Month 2025

The theme for Black History Month UK 2025 is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride”, a powerful tribute to the resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to progress that defines the Black community across the globe.

At Urban Synergy, we believe wholeheartedly in the power of the present, we see it every day in the young people we work with – their ambition, their talent, and their unwavering spirit. This Black History Month, we want to shine a spotlight on the past mentors and mentees, and the changemakers of today who are building tomorrow’s Britain with confidence, creativity, and resilience.
