Welcome to Family Hubs Leicestershire

October is Black History Month in the UK, an event that has been celebrated nationwide for more than 30 years.
It was originally founded to recognise the contributions that people of African and Caribbean backgrounds have made to the UK over many generations.
Now, Black History Month has expanded to include the history of not just African and Caribbean people but all black people. Please see lots of helpful information and resources to share.

Halloween is fast approaching. Soon, you’ll see many shops filled with ghoulish decorations and children picking out costumes and pumpkins for the big day. The scariest part of this age-old festivity is not the creepy horror films or the eerie night sky. It’s the piles of horrifying waste piled into bins. Following the Waste Hierarchy, the best thing to do is avoid buying things that will generate waste so you might want to try some of these hacks to keep your waste down.
