Black Futures is a continuation of the work that goes into celebrating and reflecting on Black culture during Black History Month. We recognise that the Black experience is not limited to one month each year, and have made a commitment to work year-round to better represent our Black students and staff. It is a year-round program of events, campaigns, and resources to help create a more equal future for everyone. GET INVOLVED IN OUR BLACK FUTURES EVENTS Black-Owned Business Marketplace We love Nottingham and we love supporting local independent businesses. Black business owners are often under-represented, and we want to help spread the word about the great ones we have here in Nottingham, which is why we’ve created a marketplace of local independent black-owned businesses. Take a look at our Black-Owned Business Marketplace. Our Commitment NTSU recognises that it needs to do more to better support its Black students, staff and local community.
