Celebrating Black History Month with Enable EDEN

This October, we join millions across the UK in recognising Black History Month – a time to honour the history, heritage, and invaluable contributions of Black communities. At Enable, we are proud to mark this month through Enable EDEN, our lived experience group for colleagues from racialised communities. 

Enable EDEN’s mission is to create a safe and supportive space for antiracism conversations, where members can share experiences, highlight opportunities, and help shape Enable’s anti-racism policy. By doing so, we are actively fostering a culture where equity, respect, and inclusion are not just values, but embedded in everything we do. 

This year’s theme, “Standing Firm in Power and Pride,” celebrates the resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to progress that defines the Black community across the globe. It reminds everyone of the importance of standing together, amplifying Black voices, and celebrating achievements, while also acknowledging the challenges that remain. 

We are excited to welcome Sukhvinder Dhadiyal (Sunny), Regional Business Partner at Enable Cares, as the new Chair of Enable EDEN. Sunny shared why this work is so important:   

"Being Chair of EDEN is a privilege because it gives me the chance to support voices that need to be heard and to create a safe space for honest conversations. It’s important because tackling racism and promoting equality is not just about policies or ticking boxes, it’s about people feeling respected, included, and empowered every single day " 

As we honour Black History Month, we reaffirm our commitment to being an organisation that listens, learns, and acts with purpose.  

Enable EDEN will continue to play a vital role in guiding this journey, ensuring that the voices of our colleagues shape the path forward.
