Today, December 1st, we gather with a purpose and passion to observe World AIDS Day 2024.  #WorldAIDSDay #WorldAidsDay2024

Thank you Clare for your support 🏳️‍⚧️🕯 #TDoR2024

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual observance that honours the memory of transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. We are committed to ensuring Leeds Teaching Hospitals is a safe environment for people to be who they are, patients and staff. Thank you to everyone who came to the moving candlelight vigil at Leeds General Infirmary this evening, where we held a two-minute silence and lit candles in memory of people no longer with us. We heard from speakers from various organisations, including Trans Leeds, who are committed to supporting our trans and non-binary communities. We also lit up Jubilee Wing to mark the day, as pictured here.

This #HateCrimeAwarenessWeek, we're calling for everyone to feel safe - at work, in their communities, or just in public. 🚨 Less than half of LGBTQ+ people feel safe holding their partners hand in public. Stand hand in hand against hate ▶️ bit.ly/3XuC4rr

Happy #BiVisibilityDay! 🩷💜💙

Happy #BiVisibility week! Our network supports lots of staff who are #Bi. They often face assumptions that they are gay or straight, based on the gender of a partner. It can be difficult to challenge this! #WeSeeYou #WeCare

𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀 Looking after a family member or friend can be hard. We know that carers need a break. If you are an unpaid carer from the LBGTQ+ community, Carers Leeds can help you with you grants and support. Call our Advice Line to find out more.

The past few days have left many of us feeling frightened, particularly those who are #Trans, #NonBinary and from #MinorityEthnic groups. We see you, we care about you, and we are here for you. #MoreInCommon @LTHT_BME
