Hi everyone, I hope you enjoy this edition of Kaleidoscope which is published during Black History Month in the UK.
Kaleidoscope
SACCO’s fledgling Kaleidoscope grew out of Sutton’s Black History Group quarterly magazine.
It showcases members’ writing talent on topics such as South Africa, the economic relationship between Africa and China, Nigeria, Prince Klaas, Ballet Black, Stephen Lawrence, LGBT & masculinity, Walter Tull, Sara Forbes Bonetta, Barack Obama, Naomi Osaka, and modern Jamaica. As sports fans, particularly of our local team the ‘giant killers’ Sutton United, we also regularly include features on black talent in football, cricket and tennis, while our Travels with SACCO articles will take you off to Spain, Jamaica, and Holland.
We are always interested in including memoirs of the migrant experience to Britain from both the Caribbean and Africa, so if you have a life story to tell please do contact us. You are also welcome to contact us if you would like to become a volunteer writer.

Summer is here at last!
Here at SACCO, we have been busier than ever serving our community.
We enter a new era of UK Politics with a fresh-faced Labour party enriched with MPs and community leaders showing exemplary service and staying power. Hopefully the Summer sun will make a few more appearances to bolster the current optimism.

Hello and welcome to our first 2024 issue of Kaleidoscope!
As we advance into the New Year, we explore the concepts around Sowing Good Seeds. Since it is not too late to create a vision board for what you want to achieve this year, we look at how to put one together. If you are like me and didn’t quite finish last year’s, just start from where you stopped.

Within a blink, we are in October celebrating Black History Month. This year's theme is very exciting where we are saluting our sisters who have left a positive legacy or are currently breaking glass ceilings and building one.
