Proud to be part of Norwich Pride

Published: 14 August 2009

Stevie Read, Practice Development Nurse at N&NRCN Eastern Region was out in force and proud to be part of the first Norwich Gay Pride festival last month. The RCN's message, "championing equality and diversity," was shouted out loud and clear through our very colourful stand, badges worn by festival goers and our lollipop placards which peppered the parade.

It was a great opportunity for RCN Officers, Adrian Ing and Nikki Ward to meet members, health care workers and to promote the RCN message to a wide audience. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun whilst ensuring that the serious business of promoting diversity and celebtrating Norfolk and Norwich's LGBT community was achieved with great success.

We look forward to taking part again next year!
