Windrush Summit 2025: Part Two

Following the success of Windrush Summit Part One in June 2025, held in collaboration with the Home Office, which explored Reframing Windrush: Justice for a New Britain, the National Windrush Museum (NWM) now convenes the second instalment in this landmark Windrush Summit series.

Event Details

On Wednesday 3 December 2025, the University of Westminster, London, will host Windrush Summit 2025: Part Two – The Windrush Justice & Testimony Conference. This is curated by the National Windrush Museum in partnership with The Voice Newspaper and the University of Westminster.

This conference, chaired by Dr Les Johnson, Founder and Chair of the National Windrush Museum, brings together leading voices from government, academia, civil society, and Windrush victims to confront one of the defining moral questions of modern Britain:
How can apology become accountability — and how can justice for Windrush be both real and restorative?

Purpose and Theme

Entitled “Lives Interrupted: From Windrush Apology to Windrush Accountability — Rethinking Justice for Windrush Generations”, the event represents a deepening of the national conversation about political restitution, moral repair, and the human cost of bureaucratic failure.

Through testimony, analysis, and reflection, the conference will examine how Britain’s democratic institutions can move from symbolic apology to a more complete correction, compensation, and cultural transformation.

The gathering is hoped will serve as both an academic forum and a civic sanctuary — a day for truth-telling, shared grief, the reassertion of human dignity, and tangible positive outcomes for Windrush communities.
