Enoch Kanagaraj, founder and CEO of One Vision Charity, said: “Stephen Lawrence Day gives us a chance to think about how racism impacts on many aspects of society, and what we can do to overcome it.
"The mosaic created also allows us to recognise and celebrate the amazing contributions of our community connectors and other Hertfordshire statutory bodies.
“We are delighted that our partnership working with HPFT NHS Foundation Trust, is tackling inequalities in mental health, through collaboration with One Vision and leaders from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.”
Representatives from government, media, police force, fire service, clergy, NHS and voluntary agencies, will be in attendance with an array of dignitaries, speakers, musicians and singers marking the event.
