I think there might have been a lost in "translation" moment here. Blue plaques are famous/well-known in the UK. However, they were not created by Nubian Jak Community Trust. They were first created about 150 years ago. The official scheme is now administered by the charity English Heritage. Today, plenty of other organizations can and do place their own blue plaques.
