The Windrush Collection

Many arrived as children, spending over fifty years as British citizens. As British citizens their knowledge of their birthplace is minimal only shared by their parents and have become part of society by having their own families, working, and paying taxes.

The government in trying to address concerns regarding immigration passed several acts that require proof of residency and arrival in Britain. The issue stands that those arriving in Britain at the time of Windrush journey arrived as British subjects with their children registered on their passports.

As a government direction they destroyed many of the documents that substantiate arrival and identification, creating distress and concerns with many now facing detention and deportation. The change in law and destruction of identifying documents is a concern too many and especially those of Jamaican parentage like myself.

As Reggae Revellers our aim is to support the Windrush Generation by donating a percentage of the profits from the Windrush Collection to a chosen charity that supports the injustice faced by many.
