HM Government of Anguilla Overseas Office Archived

Farewell to the #British Overseas Territory of #Anguilla 🇦🇮

An excellent inaugural meeting of the #Windrush Cross Government Working Group, chaired by the Home Secretary, @pritipatel. The potential for sustainable, positive change in the interests of #Britain as a whole is palpable and I look forward to working hard to that avail.

As the proud daughter of two Windrushers & a proud West Indian, I wish you all a Happy #WindrushDay! Great #Windrush projects that will educate, inspire & entertain, are listed on the @mhclg website. Brilliant digitalising means these projects can go global, so spread the word!

Important though firsts like Supt Robert Branford (1817-1869), Anguilla-born PC Norwell Roberts and Jamaica-born WPC Sislen Fay Allen are, we're always looking to broaden our collections on how the Met has reflected London's #diversity. #MuseumsUnlocked #caribbean #IAW2020

On this #VEDay spare a thought for the 1000s of men & women who faithfully defended their Mother Country. Many came from the #Caribbean, spawning the #Windrush generation who fight bravely in the #UK’s war on #Covid19, protecting the #NHS despite being up to 4x more likely to die

Today, I attach a new article that reflects some of the little known facts about the #Caribbean, such as the majestic #wildlife that frequent the region that are protected by institutions such as the @iwc_int.

The @RoyalMintUK join many across the #UK, including @PoppyLegion, in commemorating #VEDay, marking the beginning of the end of #WW2, by issuing a £2 coin by the designer, Dominique Evans. Learn more of this inspiring coin as we face our own battles today: royalmint.com/our-coins/rang…

We have uploaded two publications to our website: westindiacommittee.org -The West Indian City: The History of the Caribbean and The Square Mile westindiacommittee.org/wp-content/upl… -The West India Committee Circular: Spring 2020 westindiacommittee.org/wp-content/upl… We hope you enjoy reading! #StayHome

After successful testing, quarantines & treatment of 3 #COVID19 victims, #Anguilla now leads #British nations in easing its #lockdown measures & with a 90% indigenous population, many of whom are vulnerable, may prove a useful case study on the risks to the #UK’s #BAME community.

An oxygen generating station for Princess Alexandra Hospital was installed and commissioned for use this week. For the first time, the Health Authority of Anguilla 🇦🇮 can generate its own oxygen.
