To celebrate Pride Month 2020, we have collated a range of information including Pride history, the impact of COVID-19 on people who identify as LGBTI+, educational resources, service updates and the words from an LGBTI+ Staff Network member.
We stand together against discrimination. We, as an organisation, are proud to celebrate the diversity of the LGBTI+ community and are committed to creating and maintaining a culture in our organisation where everyone feels safe to be themselves. Recent events across the world demonstrate that now, more than ever, we need to come together and celebrate everyone’s diversity and individuality. This however does not mean than we cannot continue to celebrate Pride, just in a different way, protecting the safety of our communities. This year, the presence of COVID-19 has unfortunately meant that usual Pride celebrations cannot take place. These events often include parades, street parties, community events, street festivals and educational sessions. During Pride Month, communities are seen to come together in celebration and recognise the influence LGBTI+ people have had around the world by holding various events.
