Together TV launches Christmas Together, the campaign to tackle loneliness at Christmas that includes a festive “journey” and a virtual Christmas Lunch. Free and open to for everyone, from everywhere in the UK. Together TV celebrates tireless work of mutual aid community heroes this Christmas with award winning Director Thomas Martin filming across the UK. The TV channel joins Jo Cox Foundation’s campaign Great Winter Get Together to tackle loneliness at Christmas.

Created by our Chair and Founder Caroline Diehl, this crowdfunding campaign has raised funds that will allow Together TV to broadcast more programmes made by, with and about diverse communities, bringing people together across the UK.

The first day I walked into my classroom as a Further Education Lecturer of Business Studies, I had to pinch myself. Racism was still rife in society in the late 70s and many memories of my school days and growing up in the 50s were still raw. I remember the outrage of my parents at the Government report that said Black children were educationally subnormal, and all because they spoke “patois”, apparently! 60 years later patois is spoken not just by the Windrush Generation but by Caribbeans born in the UK.
