October 2025 draws to a close. Thank you.  

Thank you to everyone that contributed events for this year’s Black History Month programme of events.  

In putting the programme together, we were pleased to work with a range of partners from across the community, voluntary and public sectors. Thank you to the organisations and individuals who contributed events for their continued support and for making this year’s programme a huge success. 

As October draws to a close, we continue to honour the anti-racist organising at the heart of Black History Month and call for Black History to be more embedded in the narrative of Scottish history, for it to be central to the ways we tell stories about Scotland. Organisations and groups who hosted events throughout the month should continue to provide access and opportunity to engage in these histories throughout the year.  

You can continue to find an array of resources on our website including the Black History Map, our blog posts, and the archive of all previous year’s programmes.  

Thank you to anyone that attended Black History Month events this year and we look forward to seeing you again in 2025.  

In the meantime, don’t wait for next October to roll around, make every month Black History Month!
