Our mission is to make every day better for the people we support. We do this by supporting them to achieve their goals and live life the way they choose.
We aim to create inclusive and supportive environments for our colleagues and residents, which champion diversity and empower people to be their authentic selves.
During June, we celebrated Pride Month, encouraging everyone to come together to show support for, and raise awareness of, the LGBTQIA+ community.
Celebrating Pride Month in our homes
To support Pride Month in June, our colleagues and residents have been taking part in activities to raise awareness of LGBTQIA+ rights and hosting their very own Pride parades.
We had lots of smiles at our Copperfields care home in Leeds where they hosted a Pride BBQ and garden party.
Our Dearnevale care home in Barnsley invited two drag queens from their local community to come and perform in their outdoor Pride parade.
Helen McGowan, Home Manager, said: “We had an amazing day and both our residents and their families loved it. This was a real coming together of our staff teams, residents and families and it was the first real celebration since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
“Families of our newer residents had a fabulous time experiencing Dearnevale in full celebration mode for the first time!
“Pride is celebrated all over the world and we love to be part of that celebration. Celebrating equality and inclusivity is what we’re about at Dearnevale.”
In Lincolnshire, the celebrations continued at our Havenmere care home where residents and colleagues came together with their families to recognise Pride Month at their garden party, which was filled with lots of singing, dancing and a wonderful atmosphere.
Hannah Blundell, Home Manager, said: “We’re proud of our residents and staff for embracing the Pride celebrations and joining in with the dancing and singing at our garden party.
“Rainbows and laughter were our themes of the day as family members attended under our large gazebo as the sun was shining! Everyone joined in and got dressed up for the occasion or celebrated with face paint.”
