This month is LGBTQ+ history month, an event which is intended to raise awareness of, and combat prejudice against the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer community and celebrate their contribution to our culture and history. Many LGBTQ + people experience fear and discrimination when accessing housing or care services and this fear is often a particular concern to older people who may have historically experienced prejudice.
SJMT values the contribution LGBTQ+ people make to our organisation and our history and in 2019 we became a House proud Pledge pioneer, a scheme established to ensure that LGBTQ+ people can enjoy their homes without fear of discrimination!
