A community based charirty Caring for our Youth, our Elders, our Community

[CACFO UK @CACFOUK]

CACFO came together with fellow Croydon Windrush Charities to celebrate Windrush 75. Our elders had a fantastic day, incl our 110 year-old guest of honour, 'Mumma'. We raised the Windrush Flag -with the plight of Windrush victims seeking fair & just compensation very much in mind

Happy Jamaica Independence Day from CACFO. Its been 61 years since colonial rule ended - and 75 years since Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury carrying British Citizens from Jamaica to help the post war effort, many having served in the armed forces during WWII.

Thinking of the Lawrence family & Duwayne Brooks as further failings in the police investigation into the murder of #StephenLawrence, come to light.
Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Stephen's mother, said the officers concerned should face "serious sanctions"
