Does your organisation have staff network groups?

Today Employee Resource Groups (ERG) are celebrated for the vital role they play in companies.

I urge companies & organisations to continue investing and strengthening ERG's. They add so much value to organisations.

Introducing the amazing books from Pop'n'Olly. Suitable for primary schools, to teach about equality and diversity whilst ultimately helping to combat LGBT+ prejudice before it can begin to form.

#RemembranceDay

RIP - Granny & Grandad Jack and Grandad Button It & Nanna who served in World War 2

Thank you to my parents who both served in the RAF.

I was a British Legion standard bearer, but was barred from entering the forces due to being LGBT+. I found other ways to serve.

Throughout history LGBT+ people have been activists and helped shape and create social change, advancing society for everyone.
