Supporting the Windrush Generation and Their Families in Jamaica

In the wake of Hurricane Melissa and the ongoing challenges faced by members of the Windrush Generation, the Windrush National Organisation (WNO) has launched a new initiative to provide much-needed assistance and connection between the United Kingdom and Jamaica.

The WNO has long been a cornerstone of advocacy and support for the Windrush Generation, those Caribbean men and women who came to Britain between 1948 and 1971 to help rebuild the country after the Second World War. Their legacy, contributions, and sacrifices form an indelible part of British history.

Today, as natural disasters and socio-economic pressures continue to affect communities across Jamaica, the WNO is stepping forward to extend its reach to relatives and friends of the Windrush Generation living on the island.

A Lifeline Across the Atlantic

Do you have relatives or friends in Jamaica who are part of the Windrush Generation or their families? The Windrush National Organisation may be able to help. Their current appeal invites UK-based families to get in touch if loved ones in Jamaica require assistance, especially in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa.

The organisation is offering guidance, support, and coordination for those affected — reaffirming its commitment to unity, heritage, and the well-being of the Windrush community on both sides of the Atlantic.

How You Can Reach Out

If you believe your relatives or friends in Jamaica may need assistance, you are encouraged to contact the Windrush National Organisation.
To begin, simply provide:

• Your full name and contact details

• The location and details of your relative(s) or friend(s) in Jamaica who require support

A Legacy of Solidarity

This initiative isn’t just about responding to a crisis — it’s about keeping the Windrush legacy alive through community care and mutual support. For decades, the Windrush Generation has embodied resilience, service, and unity. Now, as some of their families face new hardships, this campaign serves as a reminder that their story continues — one of connection, remembrance, and hope.
