Representing Sense at Birmingham Pride

Birmingham Pride was last weekend. On Saturday, we headed down to chat to the LGBT+ community about the work we do.

We’re on a mission to make sure everyone can live with a sense of Pride, whether it’s our staff, our employees, the local community or the disabled people that we support.

When we headed down to Birmingham city centre this weekend, it was all about making sure more people knew about that mission.

At our stall, we had a sensory box full of things to help people understand more about their senses, and the work we do.

We chatted to loads of people all day, about what we do. People were so keen to hear about our amazing centre at TouchBase Pears, volunteering and how to become a buddy! We taught people how to finger spell the word “pride”!

And we even had stickers to mark the occasion!
