Identity Celebration Events
National Adoption Week 20 – 26 October 2025
During this week, the goal is to raise awareness about adoption and encourage people to consider adopting. Events are happening across the UK, including information sessions and online events.
This year’s theme is “A Welcome Home” to highlight that a child doesn’t need a perfect home, but rather a warm and welcoming one. It aims to break down the perception that a family’s circumstances must be perfect to adopt.

Black History Month – October 2025
In the UK Black History Month is celebrated each year in October to remember the history achievements and contributions of Black people in the United Kingdom.
Black people from African and Caribbean backgrounds have been an important part of British history for centuries and have contributed to Britain’s society and had a cultural impact across the United Kingdom. But, often their contributions are overlooked or not widely recognised. Black History Month gives everyone the opportunity to share, celebrate and understand the impact of Black heritage and culture.
The theme for Black History Month UK 2025 is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride,” a tribute to the resilience, strength, and commitment to progress that defines the Black community across the globe.
There are a range of events taking place across Nottingham to celebrate Black History Month, please see here for further information:
