  • November is Trans Awareness Month

    Today is the first day of Trans Awareness Month 2025 🏳️‍⚧️

    This year, there has not been much to celebrate as a Trans person. In fact it has been a scary and depressing time.

    So we are choosing to honour our Trans brothers and sisters this month (as celebration feels a little out of place).

    We honour your strength, courage and resilience, this month and every month. We see you, we hear you, we value you 🩷 🤍 🩵

    Trans and Nonbinary inclusion can often be difficult to get right, due to the misinformation published in the media. With even the Equalities & Human Rights Commission issuing incorrect guidance, it is important you know the law and support all your employees to have a dignified and inclusive time at work.

    Becoming accrEDIted™ helps organisations show their commitment to – and do better for all their people. To find out more visit: https://accredited-uk.com/

  • Celebrating Black History Month 2025 Pt.1

     

    Today marks the start of Black History Month 2025 in the UK.

    In the current political climate, we feel it is more important than ever that workplaces take every opportunity to celebrate and learn more about the diverse people who work for them and are their customers.

    To create an inclusive workplace and culture it is important that every person is valued and appreciated as themselves. Learning about different communities and their contributions, expanding our world-view is a good way to start appreciating and celebrating our differences and seeing our similarities.

    With the help of our Community members, we are celebrating our heroes of Black British History this month.

    Watch the first in the series of conversations about Black History and our personal heroes as our CEO Liz Mayers talks to Cecilia Harvey, Founder & Director of Cultural Nexus Ltd here: https://youtu.be/g-edreCdRRM
