✅ Heating your home to at least 18°C
✅ Wearing layers
✅ Getting your flu & COVID vaccinations
✅ Staying active indoors
✅ Eating hot meals and drinks

Let’s look out for each other this winter. 💙

There is no place at Team BSMHFT for people who choose to be prejudiced against LGBTQ+ people. ✋

As a Trust, we choose to be a No Hate Zone. This means that we all need to do whatever we can to counter discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, even when it is unintentional.

Near 1,000 colleagues have taken the pledge, are an active supporter and proudly wear their pin badge to show solidarity. We also offer active bystander and trans awareness training to all our colleagues.
