blackside is a community and directory for Black people to share experiences and ideas for and about being Black. We help connect Black businesses to potential customers while making it easier for people to locate and patronise new and interesting Black businesses near or far.

On Conversations, we discuss issues of, for and about the Black experience (mostly) in the UK.

We’ve also been organising and hosting a wide range of activities – hiking, roller skating, bowling, Go-Karting and more – since 2022, encouraging more Black people to come outside and occupy space.

blackside is not anti-anyone – we are pro-Black in all the ways that we can.
