October 2025
Autumn is in full swing; the glorious colours, bright blue skies and incredible sunrises and sunsets. The days are shorter and the jumpers a little thicker but there is much to do, see and explore this month.
One of the most important Hindu festivals – Diwali – is celebrated this month, known as the Festival of Lights, symbolising light over darkness. October also sees ‘Black History Month’ and the theme in 2025 is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride”. Why not take the time to explore both of these subjects a little further and discover why they are so important?
