Join us for the Christmas Founders’ Dinner at Magdalene College! This is a wonderful opportunity to network and get to know our new members. Don’t miss this chance to connect and commemorate the season together!
We are delighted to announce our after-dinner speaker, Lord Simon Woolley.
Lord Simon Woolley, Principal of Homerton College, is the first black man to head an Oxbridge College and was the founding Director of Operation Black Vote, the internationally renowned campaigning NGO which he launched in 1996. OBV works with ethnic minorities in the UK to increase understanding of civic society, participation in Parliament and public life, and to promote equality and human rights. Formerly an Equality and Human Rights Commissioner, in 2018 Lord Woolley was appointed by Prime Minister Theresa May to create and lead the UK Government’s pioneering Race Disparity Unit. The Unit collects, analyses and publishes data on how crime, education and health are affected by ethnicity.
