Today is International Women's Day! 💪💜
This years theme is !
Together we can help forge gender equality - When people, organizations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase.
Giving is not a subtraction, it’s intentional multiplication.
When women thrive, we all rise!
We fully support our staff and clients who identify as women! For more information about international women's day, please follow this link!
A big thank you to Ginger Johnson, who hosted the Well Proud Conference.
Ginger guided the day with warmth, humour and real care, reading the room perfectly and helping keep the energy and conversations flowing throughout the programme.
They helped create a space that felt open, welcoming and connected.
The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust theme for this year is - Bridging Generations - https://hmd.org.uk/
We take time today to remember the millions of people who were murdered in the holocaust and genocides that followed.
We at Calderdale Recovery Steps stand firmly against any form of discrimination. We hope and strive for a better future where no one is persecuted for being who they are 💜
