Happy Diwali! ✨

Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is observed for five days each year by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists worldwide. Originating in India more than 2,500 years ago, the celebration symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness.

In recognition of this festive time, our Asian Affinity Network recently hosted a Rangoli evening - an Indian art form where bright patterns are created using coloured rice, powder or other materials to represent the happiness, positivity and liveliness of a household, traditionally welcoming Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and good luck.

We wish you and your families lots of light, joy and prosperity!

Black History Month in the UK is celebrated every October, recognising the history, culture, and achievements of Black people.

This year’s theme, “Reclaiming Narratives”, is a heartfelt call to action, to ensure that Black voices are truly heard, experiences acknowledged, and contributions celebrated.

Over the course of the month our Black Affinity Network hosted a range of events across our London and Manchester offices to spotlight the unheard stories, the uncelebrated heroes, and the ordinary individuals within the Black community who have left lasting impact on our wider community.

Here’s a sneak peek to what we got up to! ➡️
