Good turnout at the Consultation Event, Monday July 17th 2006

A consultation event for Black History Month 2006 was held in Brighton on Monday 17th July for adults, children and young people predominantly, though not exclusively, from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities. In all 32 adults and 10 children attended. We also heard from 14 people who had wished to attend but were unable to, but wanted to demonstrate their support for any work on Black History Month.

The next steps are:

• to write up the findings of the consultation and of the evaluation - report to be issued shortly
  
• to make contact with other BME voluntary and community organisations who may wish to be involved with Black History Month events planning - ongoing meetings planned for July and August 2006
  
• to continue work on planning the events
