Birmingham Pride was last weekend. On Saturday, we headed down to chat to the LGBT+ community about the work we do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re on a mission to make sure everyone can live with a sense of Pride, whether it’s our staff, our employees, the local community or the disabled people that we support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we headed down to Birmingham city centre this weekend, it was all about making sure more people knew about that mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At our stall, we had a sensory box full of things to help people understand more about their senses, and the work we do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We chatted to loads of people all day, about what we do. People were so keen to hear about our amazing centre at TouchBase Pears, volunteering and how to become a buddy! We taught people how to finger spell the word “pride”!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we even had stickers to mark the occasion! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
