Church

Hewitt, the inaugural Director of Racial Justice in the Church of England, shared with the congregation that he knew “what it is like to be displaced and resettled, as in the 1970s, confronted by the National Front, [his] parents – of Caribbean and Indian heritages – chose to leave the UK to raise [his family in Barbados] in racial safety”.

Among the group’s recommendations is that the Church fund be used to invest in Black-led businesses focusing on education, economic empowerment, and health outcomes, as well as to provide grants to address issues in communities impacted by the legacies of slavery.
