The month of October marks Black History Month. As we come to the end of the month, we wanted to spotlight the history of Windrush Day and its connection to Forth Ports.

76 years ago, the HMT Empire Windrush docked at the Port of Tilbury with passengers from across the Caribbean, to start a new life in the United Kingdom.

We would like to reach out to schools and youth organisation groups and share our Windrush education pack, providing information on the story and the rich history behind it.

If you are making preparations for Windrush day 2025, we would like to highlight the education pack which can be found at the links below
