Honouring Our Communities
Black history is being made around us every day: by people who teach, care, volunteer, campaign, create, serve, mentor and open doors for others.
Their work does not always attract headlines, but its impact reaches across families, workplaces and communities throughout Britain.
Our 2026 magazine celebrates nationally recognised figures alongside people whose contributions have often taken place quietly and without the wider recognition they deserve. Through their stories, we explore the achievements, experiences and everyday acts of service that strengthen our communities.
This year’s cover pays tribute to Kanya King CBE. Inside, readers will discover the people celebrated through Honouring Black Britain 2026, alongside further voices and stories in our expanded digital edition.
These stories remind us that Black history is not only found in the past. It is being made around us every day.

Help Us Share Their Stories
Honouring Our Communities is about recognising the people making a difference and ensuring their experiences, achievements and contributions are recorded and shared.
It is also about helping the next generation understand that Black history is part of British history—and that the people shaping our communities today deserve to be seen, heard and celebrated.
