Does your organisation have staff network groups?

Today Employee Resource Groups (ERG) are celebrated for the vital role they play in companies.

I urge companies & organisations to continue investing and strengthening ERG's. They add so much value to organisations.

RIP - Granny & Grandad Jack and Grandad Button It & Nanna who served in World War 2

Thank you to my parents who both served in the RAF.

I was a British Legion standard bearer, but was barred from entering the forces due to being LGBT+. I found other ways to serve.

Throughout history LGBT+ people have been activists and helped shape and create social change, advancing society for everyone.

In the words of Labi Siffre.
