Bristol Reggae Orchestra will receive £21,988 in government funding to host events and activities to mark the fourth national Windrush Day. They plan to use the funds to increase participation in their performances and hope to establish a Bristol Windrush Reggae Choir as an independent entity.

The Department for Levelling up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has distributed a total of £500,000 to 35 community groups across the UK. This year’s projects will focus on bringing communities together – across different ages and ethnic backgrounds – to commemorate, celebrate and educate their local area about the contribution of the Windrush Generation and their descendants across the country.
