October is Black History Month
This year’s theme, “Honouring Our Communities”, is not simply about place or postcode. It is about people. Black people. It is about recognising individuals whose contributions are part of everyday life, yet too often go unseen. We invite you to read Black History Month Magazine 2026
Black History Month Magazine 2026
For many years, Black History Month has rightly celebrated notable figures whose achievements have changed the course of history. That recognition remains important. But history is not only made in moments of visibility. It is built over time, through consistent acts of care, leadership
and responsibility.
Across Britain, there are Black individuals who show up every day for others. Volunteers who give their time without expectation. Teachers who shape futures far beyond the classroom. Carers who offer dignity and compassion. Mentors who create opportunities. Community leaders and organisers who bring people together, often working quietly, without recognition.
Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (EDIB) is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to helping create a more equal society which respects diversity and embeds inclusion. As a social landlord we are particularly keen to raise awareness of the importance of inclusivity in housing. Having a comfortable home in a secure community is a basic human requirement that not only impacts on physical and emotional wellbeing but influences equality of opportunity in other aspects of life. Equality and diversity is the responsibility of everyone here at Alpha Living. This belief informs and shapes our strategy, our values and our culture - upholding the decisions and actions we take.
