In the wake of the Scandal, Hackney Council threw the first tea party to honour the community inviting members of the Windrush Generation and their descendants to take part in a day of activities.
This event included speeches from community leaders as well as music, food and a photography exhibition. This was also the year Hackney Council became the first UK borough to pass a Motion in parliament pledging to oppose the criminalisation of Windrush families, celebrate annual Windrush Day and press central Government for a public enquiry into the scandal.
