February is LGBTQ+ History Month, and this year’s theme is ‘Activism and Social Change.’
Throughout history LGBTQ+ people have been activists and helped shape and create social change, advancing society for everyone. As it’s a national event, you can see if there are any events near you on the official website, or if you want to learn a bit more, head over to Be Skilled and complete the Diversity and Inclusion course.
If you identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community, our Resident LGBT+ Advisory Group exists to help make Anchor a great place to live for everyone. You can email the acting chair at [email protected] for more information. The Resident Inclusion Forum also contributes to and advocates for diversity and inclusion within Anchor.
Our partners at Inclusive Employers offer an inclusion calendar highlighting lots of upcoming dates to be aware of, but here are the next two months at a glance:
Sunday 16 - Saturday 22 February – Aromantic Awareness Week
Friday 28 February - Saturday 29 March – Ramadan (Islam)
Saturday 8 March - International Women’s Day
Thursday 13 March - Holi (Hinduism)
Monday 17 - Sunday 23 March – Neurodiversity Celebration Week
