Frank Foster House Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, has been proudly celebrating Pride Month, hosting a full day of celebrations on Tuesday 17th June which included activities and events dedicated to love, diversity, and inclusion.
The day began with a refreshing walk to the local park, where residents and staff enjoyed the sunshine, connected with the wider community, and embraced the values of equality and respect. The walk set a joyful tone for the celebrations, which continued back at the Frank Foster House with a colourful and uplifting Pride Party.
The highlight of the afternoon was a fantastic live performance by two of Frank Foster House’s very own, Brian from the laundry team and the ever-talented Sandra. Their music filled the home with laughter, dancing, and wonderful memories, capturing the spirit of Pride perfectly.
Commenting on the event, Home Manager Nicolas said, “Pride is a beautiful reminder of the importance of respect, equality, and inclusion for everyone, including our LGBTQ+ residents, staff, families, and friends.”
The Pride celebration at Frank Foster House is part of a broader commitment to creating an inclusive, welcoming environment for all. From honouring the lived experiences of older LGBTQ+ residents to supporting LGBTQ+ staff and meeting care standards around person-centred inclusion, the day reflected the values that underpin daily life at the home.
Standout moments included the powerful community spirit, the sea of rainbow colours, and the shared message that everyone belongs. Frank Foster House is proud to stand for love, acceptance, and equality, this month and every month.
