It’s not every day you get to welcome a Baroness to your place of work. But so it was when Baroness Merron, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Women’s Health and Mental Health, came to Asket Croft in Leeds on Monday 27 April for a visit to our Assertive Outreach Team (AOT).

She managed to pack in a lot in her short visit, receiving a presentation on the AOT’s model and service user population, followed by meetings with various team members.

And we’ve since received a lovely little thank you letter from her, in which she said she was “grateful for the time and effort that you spent sharing your insights and expertise with me. I found our discussions to be very informative and thought provoking.”

We recently celebrated Vaisakhi at The Mount, bringing together staff, service users, carers and members of the local community for an afternoon of faith, culture and connection.

Vaisakhi is one of the most significant festivals in the Sikh tradition, marking renewal, community and service. The celebration offered an opportunity to learn, reflect and share experiences, while recognising the importance of faith, identity and belonging within our Trust.

The event included Sikh prayers (kirtan) accompanied by harmonium, a traditional Giddah dance performance, a talk on Sikh beliefs and the meaning of Vaisakhi, and light refreshments kindly prepared by members of the Sikh community. We were also delighted to mark the launch of A Guide for Chaplaincy to Dharmic Faiths by Dr Satwant Kaur Rait, our Volunteer Sikh Chaplain.

One attendee shared: “I was so proud of our Trust for recognising and celebrating Vaisakhi. Having a sense of belonging at work is so important – this really meant a lot.”

Thank you to everyone who contributed to such a warm, inclusive and uplifting celebration. You can read more on our website link in comments
