Today is #WorldAIDSDay
On 1 December, we must give thanks to those who came before us. The progress we’ve made in the fight against HIV wouldn’t be possible without their contributions.
Here's our CEO @ianrgreen on remembering those we've lost and looking to the future👇

“Speaking out about being a Black intersex woman is not just freedom for me, it is an act of self-love.”

The bisexual pride flag was designed by a team led by LGBT activist Michael Page in 1998. Page took the colors of the bisexual pride flag from an existing bisexual symbol, the biangles.

So proud of our network and people such as Katharine who are able to share with us what Pride means to them.
We hope you've enjoyed hearing the stories from our colleagues who have been incredible in telling us what this month means to them. #Pride2021
We are PROUD! 🏳️🌈
Katharine, a specialist in paediatric speech and language therapy, came out as bisexual when she was 31. She has explained what Pride means to her.
A huge thanks to Katharine who, with our LGB&T+ network, helps create an inclusive workplace for all.
#Pride2021
ALT An image of Katharine with accompanying text. It reads: Despite coming out later in life, Pride month has always been important to me. It’s a time for the LGB&T+ community and allies to celebrate and embrace our individuality. It’s also an important reminder to prioritise inclusivity and acceptance of other people, irrespective of our similarities or differences. I’m proud to say that I’m a member of the Trust’s LGB&T+ network and employed by an organisation that is working hard to ensure we have an inclusive workplace. I hope this means that all of our staff feel comfortable to openly and unapologetically be their authentic selves.
Thank you so much for sharing your story Connor. We are so proud that you are able to be YOU and that's the most important thing 🏳️🌈#Pride2021
Inspiring 🏳️🌈
Connor is a nursing assistant on our F6 ward who loves caring for patients.
Sadly, Connor was bullied after he came out as gay at school, and as part of #Pride2021, he has explained how celebrating Pride can help stamp out prejudice.
We're proud of you, Connor.
We absolutely love this from Ellie #Pride
