Pride Month Celebrating Pride throughout June

Pride Month is an annual celebration of the many contributions made by the LGBTQ+ community including history, society, and cultures worldwide. In most places, Pride is celebrated throughout the month of June each year in commemoration of its roots in the Stonewall Riots of June 1969. To celebrate, an Activity Pack has been designed for residents which includes lots of activities and ways that locations can get involved with Pride month. If you would like a printed copy, please send your name and address to BeWell@anchor.org.uk and a copy will be sent out in the post for you. Also planned in June, our Together Choir will be singing songs produced and sung by a member of the LGBTQ+ Community or songs relating to acceptance. Our next Together Choir is on the 15th June at 2.30pm and we would love as many people as possible to join in!
