AECOM EDN's fundraiser for Black Minds Matter UK

Emily Mellor is raising money for Black Minds Matter UK
“Windrush Day”

on 22 June 2025

Founded in 2020, Black Minds Matter UK (BMMUK) delivers safe and accessible, culturally appropriate support and talking therapies with, and for the Black community. BMMUK matches clients with a Black therapist from a wide network, based on their individual needs, to provide bespoke, appropriate 1-2-1 therapy. We share resources online and promote our work through social media to increase the awareness of mental health issues and the therapy services we offer to the Black community. We also host workshops and talks for the wider community, institutions and organisations. We advocate for transformational systems change and aim to influence policy which will result in a mental healthcare system which is intersectional in its approach. Our Vision: A community of Black people readily accessing culturally appropriate mental health support, recovering fully from mental illness, so that they may thrive and inspire others. Our Future: Diversifying the services offered to meet the needs of the wider Black community.

Story

AECOM's Ethnic Diversity Network (EDN) are inviting all employees to commemorate Windrush Day 2025 through either in-person Lunch and Learn sessions or Inclusion Moments.

Windrush Day marks the anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush on June 22, 1948, and celebrates the British Caribbean communities and the contributions the Windrush generation and their families have made to Britain.

As part of these events, the EDN would like to employees to donate to Black Minds Matter. This charity's UK vision is for a community of Black people to be able to readily access free culturally appropriate mental health support to recover fully from mental illness, so that they may thrive and inspire others.
