Ghana Independence Day

March 06 is Ghana Independence Day.

Ghana achieved independence from Britain in 1967.

It was the first sub-Saharan country to break free from colonial rule and as such the day is a source of enormous national pride.

The Ghanian community is one of London's most established West African communities.

According to the 2021-2022 census there are 135,854 Ghanaian nationals living in the United Kingdom with the majority residing in London: Lambeth, Haringey, Croydon - and Newham.

Within Newham the Ghanaian community is very active in social and culture activities.

Sending Best Wishes to everyone celebrating.
