*Celebrate our diversity*
This event celebrates 40 years of cooperation, mutual aid and solidarity by Sumac Centre, since being established as the Rainbow Centre in 1984. Rainbow rented a rundown terrace of shops on Mansfield Road from 1985-2001, creating the community that bought the Sumac Centre in 2001. See more history here.
Sumac exists to provides resources and a meeting space for groups and individuals working to promote social justice, environmental awareness, peace, and animal rights.
You can donate here to support us, towards running costs, maintenance, heating bills etc.
