May is more than just a month — it's a celebration of diversity, resilience, and unity! Join us as we highlight key events in the LGBTQIA+ calendar: May 17 - International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia: On this day, we reaffirm our commitment to eradicating discrimination and championing equality for all. Let's raise our voices, stand in solidarity, and spread love and acceptance far and wide. May 17 - Pink Shirt Day: Wear pink and take a stand against bullying! Pink Shirt Day is a powerful reminder that kindness, compassion, and inclusion are the cornerstones of a supportive community. Let's create a world where everyone feels safe and respected, regardless of who they are or who they love. May 24 - Pansexual Visibility Day: Celebrate the beautiful diversity of attraction and affirm the visibility of pansexual individuals. Pansexuality acknowledges that love transcends gender, embracing the spectrum of human experience and connection. Let's amplify pan voices, challenge stereotypes, and foster understanding within our communities. Together, we can create a world where everyone feels seen, accepted, and celebrated. Together, let's embrace diversity, celebrate love in all its forms, and pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future! 💖

From website: "Everyone can sign the Read in Color® pledge indicating your commitment to read and share diverse books to amplify marginalized voices! Whether you are a Little Free Library steward, patron, book lover, or community member, you can have a role in celebrating diversity in your community. Read in Color starts with books, but the potential for engagement goes far beyond their pages. Read in Color® brings diverse books to Little Free Library book-sharing boxes around the world. Read in Color distributes books that provide perspectives on racism and social justice; celebrate BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized voices; and incorporate experiences from all identities for all readers. Only 46% of children’s books depict non-white characters. We believe everyone should be able to see themselves in the pages of a book. We also know that books can be a window into experiences that are different from our own. By reading diverse books, we can increase understanding, empathy, and inclusion. Sign the Read in Color Pledge! Check out what Read in Color pledge signers have shared about their commitment to diverse books."

New 📢📑 Our latest report explores a variety of actions, initiatives, and practices that local areas and their partners have developed with the aim of meeting the needs of minority ethnic children and families. This work is informed by qualitative research that involved over 90 stakeholders from local areas in six regions. The three themes identified in the report are: 1️⃣ Meeting the needs of local communities, including ways of working with CVS organisations. 2️⃣ A workforce that can support diverse communities, including embedding REDIE in the workplace, and building a representative workforce. 3️⃣ Using evidence to support minority ethnic children and families, including how to consider REDIE in local needs assessments, and hearing families views. Each chapter also highlights questions to encourage ongoing reflection on ways to improve race equality, diversity, inclusion, and equity in support offers for children, young people, and families.
