What is 'Black Pound Day'?

Jo Bostock

Available for over a year

'Black Pound Day' is the movement supporting black-owned businesses. It was launched in 2020 by So Solid Crew’s DJ Swiss and is aimed at supporting the growth of the UK’s black economy. It falls on the first Saturday of each month and encourages people to spend locally or online with black-owned companies. Brian Simmonds from Leicester's Black Consortium explains to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Leicester reporter Kevin Ncube how preparations are already underway for the next 'Black Pound Day' at Leicester's African Caribbean Centre.
