Alice Annum, Founder and Managing Director of The Colour of Life said: "We are excited about collaborating with UBS in celebrating their first ever Black History Month event. As Britain has one of the most multicultural societies in the word, producing an African focused cultural awareness event for employees at UBS is a testimony towards the changing face of financial institutions.
The Colour of Life is steadily building its reputation as an innovative social enterprise and through its partnership with UBS, we are able to showcase our community work with young people whilst making a significant contribution to raising the profile of Africa as an emerging market"
