Celebrating Black History at Cygnet Hospital Bierley
The event highlighted the beautiful diversity at Bierley. Everyone dressed in beautiful traditional attire and our amazing staff came together and prepared a delicious buffet of cultural dishes.
A highlight of the day was an inspiring presentation by historian Danny Friar, who engaged staff, carers, and service users with his talk on the legacy of the Windrush generation.
The day continued with a live DJ where everyone enjoyed dancing, listening to great music, and sharing a sense of togetherness.
Social Work Assistant Samreen and Social Worker Rica who planned and oversaw the day added: “Visiting carers expressed how amazed and moved they were by the hospital’s cultural representation, making the event a truly fantastic and memorable experience full of learning, joy, and connection.”
Hospital Manager Michelle O’Neill said: “Another day demonstrating the amazing team we have and service we deliver!”
