We attended an online lecture to celebrate Black History month. This was with Bishop Rose Hudson-Wilkin who incredibly talked about the role of the church in challenging racism in the public square! #yorkstjohn#BlackHistoryMonthUK
Afternoon tea to say goodbye ans good luck to our wonderful colleague Michelle! We wish you all the look in the future working for one of our partner companies ๐
Sometimes the little achievements in life are just as significant as the biggies. If youโre struggling, weโre here for you ๐
Thanks so much to @letstalk.mentalhealth (insta) for letting us share this fabulous illustration.
This was so interesting and a real insight into racism and importantly what diverse people from all over the world brought and contributed to British culture - we learnt a lot! Go see it! Entry is free for poeple on UC and refugees #AntiRacism#CityofYork https://t.co/26GlQx9kPW
We learned so much about the history of discrimination in #housingservices and how this still echoes today in national policies. We are committed to highlighting this where we see this so it can be challenged. 2/2
As part of our commitment to become a #Antiracist and #TraumaInformed organisation, we have designed a programme of monthly workshops to educate ourselves on matters relating to equality, diversity and inclusion. We looked at #racism and #homelessness this week 1/2
Head over to the @OutsideInYork 's website to learn more about Phil's experience of homelessness and resettlement, and finding his way through.

"I took me name off the council house that I had with an ex-partner and, when I took me name off the council house the council turned round and said then "we havenโt got a duty of care for you, youโve made yourself homeless, we canโt help you for 10 years."

Thank you so much to Aidan from @SLSEngland on delivering a very interesting and eye-opening training session on Load Sharks and how we can stop them. Did you know it is illegal for unlicensed people to lend money with interest? If you are affected by this - call 0300 555 2222
We had a great morning being trained in administering Naloxone. Thank you to #YorkNaloxoneKnights@YORKinRECOVERY for delivering a really good session today :)
