Anchor - Primrose Court transformed its grounds into a vibrant festival venue for a day of live music dubbed ‘Primrosebury’.

The event brought the festival experience directly to the care home, with a full programme of musical acts. The free event was attended by residents, their families and people from the local community, who enjoyed drinks, ice creams, and a range of activities throughout the day including a tombola and party games.

Reclaiming Narratives: Pride Month

As part of a series of events, Anchor colleagues and residents are invited to an online panel event to discuss key topics amongst diversity and inclusion – it’s a great opportunity for open discourse and transparency, where real stories and shared experiences can be embraced and reclaimed, hence the name ‘reclaiming narratives’. This month (Pride month) our panel discussed what it meant to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community, and to be the parent of a trans child.

In what was (unsurprisingly!) an emotive session, our speakers talked about "the beauty and sense of community," and "being able to stand up so proudly for what we believe in." Overwhelmingly, what came through was a sense of unity and belonging, and that it's one of the best parts of the LGBTQ+ community.

Both speakers mentioned the importance of being proactive in allyship and in being able to advocate for the whole community, and the session was certainly one that resonated with everyone. It was also wonderful to involve people from other housing organisations in Yorkshire and the Humber, so we can't wait for future sessions!
