"The 75th anniversary of Windrush is a chance to reflect on the pioneers who helped rebuild Britain, and explore the impact of ‘toxic’ government policies on the community." ✍️ @BlondelCluff politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

I am honoured to have been presented with The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal for The Realms during the 70th anniversary of the accession of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Also in our Islands section (and also online soon) @BlondelCluff of the @WI_Committee urges Brits to learn from our historic links to the Caribbean, Peter Biggs MLA writes on climate change and the Falklands and Kerrie Howard of the UK Hydrographic Office re mapping the oceans

So good to catch up with our friend, renowned archaeologist Dr Jago Cooper of @SainsburyCentre @uniofeastanglia, whose educational work for @britishmuseum on the #Garinagu tribe was sponsored by @WI_Committee. Jago has set us on course for a voyage of #Garifuna culture discovery
West India Committee retweeted
All too often our own #history is hidden in plain sight, the appreciation of which could make the world of difference. @WI_Committee's ongoing engagement with the #Garinagu of St Vincent is a potent example that all such opportunities should never be confined to one month alone.
West India Committee retweeted
In life we are surrounded by unsung heroes whose work and dedication makes this world a better place. This year gave us the opportunity to rectify that by presenting Richard Allicock of @ThruLife2 with the Platinum Jubilee Medal for frontline services to the #Caribbean community.
West India Committee retweeted
No better way to have spent #BlackHistoryMonth than with the next generation of the #UK’s #Caribbean community at @WI_Committee’s @UNESCO inscribed library in central London examining family links to Caribbean veterans of WW1, hailed by Daily Mail as ‘Huge & Mighty Men of Valour’
West India Committee retweeted
Honoured to present Platinum Jubilee medals to @CarverAnderson & Robin Thompson of @BringingHopeUK; Fiona Ramdeen & Sharon Bhola-Harris of @BirminghamCG; Gerald Nembhard of @TNLComFund & Geoff Thompson of @BirminghamCG22 at @PwC_Midlands for services to the #Caribbean community.
West India Committee retweeted
A group of Thru Life young people had the honour to attend the @WI_Committee taking them on a voyage of self-discovery using @UNESCO memory of the world library and collection. @haringeycouncil #OctoberHalfTerm
West India Committee retweeted
The museum is hosting an exhibition from @WI_Committee and @NAM_London 'The West Indian Soldier' details the history of the British West India Regiments (BWIR) from their inception to disbandment, commemorating contributions of Caribbean servicemen & Women to the British Army.
West India Committee retweeted
Pleased to see the work of my old outfit, @HeritageFundUK, in #York, and to pay my respects to #IvoryBangleLady who originated in #Africa and featured in #DiversityBuiltBritain, produced by @WI_Committee and @RoyalMintUK, at rest in @YorkshireMuseum. Nothing new under the sun!
Earlier this month we welcomed members of The National Council for Saint Vincent and The Grenadines Associations UK and the visiting Garinagu delegation to our office for a lecture by @BlondelCluff on the history of The West India Committee and the Punch Ladle of Joseph Chatoyer.
West India Committee retweeted
Heartfelt condolences of The West India Committee go out to the family of the late Queen Elizabeth II, mother of the 4 nations of the UK, the Realms, Crown Dependencies, & Territories. May she live on through us all as we strive to emulate her unswerving dedication to mankind.
West India Committee retweeted
We were delighted to welcome the Garinagu Delegation from the Americas to the start of their UK tour last Thursday 1st September. First stop to visit Hon.Chief Joseph Chatoyer’s Ladle Thank you @BlondelCluff @WI_Committee @svghighcom
