Over the last few weeks, we’ve been celebrating Pride month with a range of activities hosted and organised by our Encompass Staff network – including a competition to select a new name for Encompass!
The month kicked off with a Question Time event introduced by our Director General that explored issues such as use of pronouns, hate crime and appropriation of the Pride flag, as well as celebrating panellists’ favourite allies. These topics and more have looked at in more depth across themed weeks, supported by a Pride Playlist of films, TV programmes, books and podcasts.
The month of activity will conclude later this week with a virtual Pride event hosted on Teams. We will be announcing the winners of our competitions that have been taking place over the month of June. There will be talks from various colleagues a Q&A session and LGBT Poet Laureate Trudy Howson will be our guest speaker.
