Pride Month is a time to celebrate the diversity, individuality and strength within our communities 🌈

We’re delighted to congratulate Medway Council colleagues Victoria and Sean on their nominations for the ‘LGBTQIA+ and Ally Communities at Work’ award at this year’s Medway Pride LGBTQIA+ Awards. The award recognises those who actively champion the LGBTQIA+ community.

We also want to highlight some of the support available for children and young people in Medway:
👉 The Medway Therapeutic Alliance – BeYou Project provides identity-affirming wellbeing support for LGBTQIA+ young people through group and peer-based approaches. https://orlo.uk/4YdO1
👉 For more information about LGBTQIA+ support services, including the Medway Gender and Sexual Diversity Centre and Stonewall, visit our mental health page: https://orlo.uk/oBzAX

“I’d rather not know.”

Knowing your numbers gives you control and reassurance. One high reading doesn’t mean it’s permanent.

It's = more free clinics across Medway meaning it’s never been easier to check.

Check it. Know it. Take control.
