As part of activities to mark the celebrations of Black History Month 2025, SEM organised a residential weekend for 20 women from the Sheffield & District African Caribbean Community (SADACCA), to Hadrian’s Wall, Northumberland National Park.

Women from SADACCA tour the Roman Vindolanda site.
SEM’s CEO, Dr Maxwell Ayamba BEM explained that the visit to Hadrian’s Wall including the Roman Vindolanda and Museum was of historical importance to the women due to the history of the Black presence in the landscape.
