June marks Pride month and we are sharing our support to the LGBTQ+ community, you might notice our colleagues supporting by wearing new pride badges. GCH is proud to hold inclusion at its core and celebrate the diverse nature of our customers and colleagues, striving to develop an inclusive organisation, where customers and colleagues feel safe and comfortable to be their true selves.
“Celebrating everybody’s differences and uniqueness has always been at the heart of our organisation and our values, we want everybody to feel safe, welcome and at home with GCH. Signing the HouseProud Pledge strengthens our promise to create a safe and harmonious living space where everyone can thrive
Guy Stenson, Chief Executive at GCH
Opportunities for LGBTQ+ involvement at GCH
We are always looking for customers from all sections of our community to get involved and help shape our services at GCH, recognising that our services need to be shaped by a range of customers. We really encourage members of the LGBTQ+, or any other community to get in touch.
