Black History Month · October
Black History Month talks for organisations
An honest, evidence-led session for Black History Month that goes beyond the calendar entry, and leaves your team with something they can actually act on.
What the talk covers
Shaped around your audience, but a typical session includes:
- The 2026 theme, Honouring Our Communities, and what it actually asks of an organisation
- Identity, heritage and belonging in Britain, told honestly and from lived experience
- Where race inequity shows up in everyday workplace processes, not just in policy
- Why awareness activity alone rarely changes outcomes, and what the evidence says does
- A practical exercise your team can run afterwards to see their own patterns
- Open, non-defensive conversation, with time for real questions
What is included
Every booking includes the following as standard:
- A short planning conversation beforehand, so the talk fits your audience and your context
- The session itself, delivered online or in person
- Slides and any handouts used on the day
- A one-page takeaway so people leave with something practical
- Time for questions, and an option to gather anonymous questions in advance
- Accessibility considered throughout, including captions online and materials in advance on request
What your organisation gets from it
- A session that people actually talk about afterwards, rather than politely forget
- A shared language for talking about race at work, which is often the missing piece
- One concrete, low-cost action your team can take in the following month
- A marker that your organisation treats this as more than a calendar entry
- Honest answers to the questions people are usually too nervous to ask
Formats
Talks can be shaped to the time you have:
- A lunch-and-learn style session, the most popular format for awareness months
- A longer workshop where people work through the material themselves
- A keynote for a conference, away day or all-staff event
- A panel appearance or fireside conversation
- Delivered online or in person, across the UK
