Hosted by Out North East the pride team are working alongside our Adult Mental Health peer Support Team bringing the LGBTQ+ community and its allies, businesses, retail outlets, service providers and third-sector organisations together in vibrant 3 month-long celebration in June, July & August this year.
The three month long celebration is introducing a series of exciting events dedicated to celebrating diversity and promoting inclusivity in our borough with support from South Tyneside & Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust
Events such as Pride are a valuable opportunity to showcase our commitment and support to improve the health of LGBT communities and the wider public and to also look at how far gay rights have come, particularly in the delivery of LGBTQ+ inclusive services. Our services continue its work to support the LGBTQ+ community and promote inclusion across all of our services. South Tyneside & Sunderland Foundation Trust also run its own Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Plus (LGBT+) Staff Network for its workforce. This offers colleagues a safe space to share experiences, seek support and represent their views. It also helps remove healthcare barriers for LGBTQ+ patients ensuring our Mental Health services are an inclusive provider to seek support from.
The teams again look forward to attending over the summer so keep posted and see you there
