Windrush Day

Today we celebrate and honour the Windrush Generation and their descendants, whose contributions have helped shape modern Britain.

Windrush Day is also a time to reflect on the challenges many faced, including discrimination, racism, and the injustice of the Windrush Scandal, which highlighted the devastating consequences of people being wrongly told they had no right to remain in the country they had called home for decades.

🧩 Autistic Pride Day 2026 🧩

Today we celebrate Autistic Pride Day – a day led by Autistic people to celebrate Autistic identity, promote acceptance, and champion a world where Autistic people are respected, supported, and free to be themselves.

This year's theme, "Noticing is not the same as acting", highlights an important message: while awareness and conversations about autism have grown, meaningful change in funding, employment, and support systems has not always followed.

Autistic Pride Day 2026 also marks the launch of the call for an Autism Standard – a push for systems and organisations to move beyond awareness and demonstrate real action that improves the lives of Autistic people.

Let's use this day to listen, learn, and help create communities where Autistic people are valued, included, and empowered every day of the year.
