Bishop Dr Derek Anthony Webley MBE DL, Co-Chair of the Windrush Cross-Government Working Group, who was appointed an OBE in the New Year Honours list for services to the Windrush Generation.
The Blackstory Partnership for their commemorative event and awards ceremony.
Arts All Over The Place for their Windrush Stories project.
Birmingham Education Partnership for producing educational resources for schools.
Shades of Black for their "Meeting Windrush" project.
