Project T.R.U.T.H (Telling Restoring Understanding our Tapestry and History), was an education and consultation initiative commissioned by the (then) Legacy Steering Group.

Project T.R.U.T.H began in November 2020 and was overseen by the community’s subgroup, made up of three BLF members (Jendayi Serwah-Tagoe, Tunga Witter and Cleo Lake). 

It consisted of a launch event, a survey, a weekly radio show and eight focus group meetings. For the duration of the Project, Black South West Network provided administrative and research support, as the accountable body.
