During Women’s History Month it is easy to focus on the stories of high profile, successful women. But it is equally important to mark the success of unsung heroes whose enormous contributions to society, through raising children, caring, pursuing education and working with the most vulnerable, go virtually unseen.

This year, the theme for Women’s History Month is ‘Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.’ 

For International Women’s Day, we spoke to Jaimie, General Manager for Right Care, Croydon Services, which was set up to deliver outstanding care across our community crisis and inpatient services.   

Today is the start of LGBT+ History Month, and all month long we will be recognising and celebrating the rich tapestry of experiences within our community.

South Asian heritage month is a great time to embrace the culture and for some, an opportunity to reminisce. Experiences and fond memories growing up are lovely to look back on, and it is a pleasure to hear individual origin stories and see things from a different cultural lens. Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr Rani Samuel has shared with us highlights and funny memories she has of growing up. Read on to hear Rani’s story.
