AmicusHorizon Diversity Group
World Mental Health events
Thanks to everyone who supported our ‘Tea and Talk’ events in
October, recognising World Mental Health Day.
In Croydon, staff pledged to help friends and colleagues
coping with mental health issues. In Kent, staff shared coffee
and cakes along with their experiences of mental health. In
Sussex, the Tea and Talks were a chance for staff to feedback
on how supported they feel at work.
We need to continue being open about any hidden disabilities
among staff, so the AmicusHorizon Diversity Group are
supporting a new Hidden Disabilities Working sub group.
More details coming soon.
Black History Month
A talk show style session was held at Grosvenor House
where BME members of staff were interviewed on
their experiences and challenges they’ve faced in their
careers. This was a great chance to look at what can be
done to break down those barriers in the future. There
was also a diverse array of food for people to enjoy.
We want to make sure we have a diverse and inclusive
workplace where everyone has the opportunity
to reach their full potential. A new BME group will
be coming soon. For more information please

All out for
inclusion!
Our LGBT networking group
has now launched. We’re
looking for LGBT staff and
‘straight and trans allies’, who
want to make a real difference
in shaping our future. If that’s
you, we’d love to hear from
you. Contact Romy Rook
