I had a wonderful visit to the Black History Month festival at The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust 🏥
I was treated to a tour of several wards and departments, which gave me the chance to thank staff for all their efforts through the pandemic.

It was a real pleasure to visit Bushbury Hill Primary School as the Guest of Honour for their Black History Month Assembly. I was humbled to be selected as one of the school's BHM Heroes, after an incredible month. It is a real privilege to see Wolverhampton's next generation #daretodream

The Deputy Mayor & Mayoress have been out and about in Wednesfield this morning

Massive shout out to these two amazing, inspiring local young women of colour who embody my message of 'dare to dream' and helped to make my event for #Blackhistorymonth2022 special. Sunev Wilson performed a spine-tingling, acapella version of 'Stand Up' and sharlie hosted

Absolute pleasure to be joined by WolvesMayor for one of our #FeedOurPack activity sessions this morning at Fallings Park Primary School! 🏫

As part of their October half-term camp, the children made a delicious fruit crumble with the help of Cook Stars-Solihull 🧑‍🍳

Last night Wolverhampton continued to celebrate #Diwali2022 with Hit the Dhol Diwali Mela event, where we saw some fantastic performances at the Bob Jones Community Hub from our younger generation.

We are spending the morning at Fallings Park Primary School along with the Wolves Foundation
As part of their 'Feed our Pack ' campaign we are going to show a group of young pupils how to make a fruit crumble pudding from fresh ingredients.
Looks delicious!

Taking full advantage of Half Term Week, we had a visit to the Parlour from Pastor Gilroy Brown's Young Church Leaders Academy. They learned about the role of the Mayor, the history of our civic regalia and also visited the Council Chamber.

Today the Deputy Mayor attended the Nova Training Open Day, based in Wolverhampton. The Team there provided a guided tour of the facilities, as well as talks through programmes for adults, employers & young people, recruitment events & new initiatives that they offer.

Wishing all those celebrating a joyous #diwali
