Residents and staff at a Watford care home marked Pride Month in style with a week of colourful celebrations.
RMBI Care Co. in Watford decorated the main areas around the home to mark the annual event held throughout the month of June.
Residents enjoyed a Pride-themed lunch with an entertainer singing party classics. Everyone enjoyed rainbow ice cream served from the home’s new ice cream machine, and the catering team baked and decorated colourful cupcakes and biscuits.
Home manager Beverley Roberts said: “It was a fabulous afternoon and an enjoyable way to celebrate Pride involving both the residents and staff. It is important that everyone who comes in knows that they are welcome and that our home is filled with love and acceptance.”
Residents and staff shared their stories and experiences, and participated in a learning session about the history of LGBTQIA+ rights, changes in society through time and today’s Pride.
Notable individuals such as Sir Elton John CBE featured in discussions, as did Peter Frank Ashman, a lawyer and activist from St Albans whose work on human rights helped lead to the decriminalisation of homosexuality across Europe.
