The hope for a future where LGBTQIA+ families are simply seen as another valid expression of human connection is something we should all strive for. Emma brings us a powerful reminder that family is about who shows up, who cares, and who chooses to be there, unconditionally 👇

We've said it before, and we'll keep saying it: lesbian visibility matters not just on one day, but every day. It’s not something to be acknowledged only when it's convenient. Now is the time to advocate and stand beside those who need us the most... #LesbianVisibilityDay

Mohamed is the founder of Afdeer Salts, the UK’s first Black British-owned salt company. He emphasises a truth often ignored: migrants are part of the backbone of industries. Far from being a burden, their presence should be considered essential to the economic fabric of the UK.

All students have the same right to belong. They have dreams, worries, quirks, and potential. They are not a burden on the system. They are the reason to build a better one.

We were very inspired by Jason Rawding's workshop "The Jester's Journey". So encouraging to see how the workplace is evolving with more space for authenticity and shared laughter! Huge thanks to all who attended. Your energy, absurdity and laughter made the session memorable.

Pride flags become a signal: “I’m here. You’re safe.” And just like a nod across a room or a knowing smile from someone who gets it, it helps us connect. What flag reflects your identity best Do you carry it to events? Tell us everything! #PrideMonth #Pride #Pride2025

No pressure to “act normal.” Just a thoughtful structure, and meetings that can finally work. These aren’t favours. They’re a good design. Supportive for neurodivergent people, and, honestly, better for everyone. #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityPride #Neurodivergenz

Have you ever done EDI training at work? What was the outcome? What stuck with you? The real work of EDI training starts when we stop treating inclusion as a box to tick, and start asking what kind of workplace we’re actually building. 👇 We’d love to read your reflections.

Organisations think that “covering EDI” means ticking off one topic at a time. But EDI is not just about: - Racism - Disability - Sexuality - And so on It’s about all these things (and more) together and how they intersect. It’s about accessibility, respect, and belonging.

Psychological safety doesn't teach us to disregard boundaries, but to question whether the environment allows everyone to contribute fully. If we could encourage a single learning into each organisation we work with, psychological safety would be at the top of the list.
