Black-Owned Businesses & Charities Expo - Leeds

This expo is an opportunity for like-minded Black-led organisations and businesses to celebrate each other, showcase their wares and services, and network effectively.

The expo aims to initiate conversations and gather feedback about experiences over the last two and a half years as the world has experienced monumental events, igniting periods of reflection and a need for change and action: Covid-19, the murder of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter. How have these events affected organisations and businesses?

During the expo, exhibitors will collaborate in workshops to brainstorm ideas for new initiatives (akin to Black Pound Day or 100 Great Black Britons). The most popular initiative, as voted on by exhibitors, will be taken forward with the aim of it exclusively benefiting them as a collective.

Why Exhibit At This Expo?

If you’re like me and believe one of the best ways for Black-led businesses and organisations to progress is by working as a collective to achieve greater autonomy and would like to explore this further, this expo is for you. It’s an opportunity to:

*Lunch together.
