With the London Pride theme of ‘#You, Me, Us, We’, residents and staff at Red Oaks came together on Friday, July 23, to promote diversity, inclusion and education of the LGBTQ community.

Acting manager, Karen Poulter, said: “Today has been all about celebrating the LGBTQ community and as a home understanding of one another, it has been great fun for everyone. Our staff and the people who live here have really got involved with the celebrations and have really enjoyed themselves.”
