The comments made by Robert Jenrick, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, on 22 June 2021.
The Windrush Generation and their descendants have had – and continue to have – a profound impact on Britain’s social, cultural and economic life.
This year the continued contribution of Windrush descendants has been felt as deeply as ever, with British-Caribbean communities coming to the fore to support our nation through their incredible contributions to the NHS, councils and every other part of public life.
This Windrush Day I encourage everyone to join in, whether virtually or in person, and enjoy one of the hundreds of fantastic local events taking place across the country.
