Check out the new Catalyst event calendar which also features Black event creators that are at the forefront of a movement that creates spaces for communities to thrive and enact real change.
As well as Catalyst events, we will also include selected items listed on Eventbrite that spotlight a diverse selection of events that break new ground, raise awareness and bring people together. From enlightening panel discussions through to workouts and decolonised history lectures.
Some of the past events have included:

Spaces for Listening: Black Faces, White Spaces
This group is set up by and for Black and mixed black women residing in Birmingham and surrounding areas. It is a safe space for women to come and share their experiences or listen to others.
Liverpool: Black History and Black Activism
