Upcoming exhibition to mark Black History Month

As part of Black History Month, we are celebrating the contributions our Black staff make through a portrait exhibition featuring serving and retired, firefighters and support staff who all serve our communities in different ways and keep people safe.

"Belonging" features eight different portraits of our current and retired members of staff. Come and find out more about some of the faces who keep your community safe.

The exhibition will run in the New Art Exchange in Nottingham from Tuesday 3 October until Saturday 14 October. Please note the gallery is closed on Monday and Sunday. 

Black and minority ethnic people continue to be underrepresented within the fire and rescue sector, both in Nottinghamshire and across the UK.

Through a more diverse workforce we can deliver a better service to people in Nottinghamshire and we hope these portraits give inspiration to others to consider a career with the fire and rescue service.
