This pride month, we’re celebrating our LGBTQ+ team members, patients, and friends by holding our first annual Pride event! Each year, the last Thursday of June will be a special day to show our solidarity and support to anyone whether they be ‘out’, feeling confused, ‘in’, struggling with their sexuality or flying the flag loud and proud. Our view is that everyone should feel happy and proud to be their ‘whole’ selves at work, when receiving treatment from out many Prosthetists and Orthotists, or when visiting any one of our locations.
On Thursday 29
th June, we’re encouraging everyone at Steeper to be ‘loud and proud’ by wearing colourful outfits, individually or as a team, and there will be a prize for the ‘best dressed’. Our teams will be donning their brightest gear, shiniest sequins and as always, being their most fabulous selves to show support for colleagues, friends, and patients alike. In addition, team members will show their solidarity by attending local Pride Parades up and down the country!
We’ll also be raising money for our charity partner, Action for Children, who provide support to children and young people, including those who may be struggling with their sexuality or gender identity; young people like Charlie. You can read Charlie’s incredible story and more about how they support the LGBTQ+ community on their website:
