In a memorable collaboration with Notting Hill Genesis and their staff network group, Cultural Energie, we came together to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Windrush.
The event was a perfect blend of reflection and celebration, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
Marching with Pride
UNIFY proudly joined forces with Houseproud for the 2023 London Pride March.
