Mark Izzard, Technical Director explains what Pride Month means to him. ๐
"This Pride Month is especially meaningful for me and my partner because we have adopted a child and become parents.
Our journey included assessments, training, home visits and plenty of paperwork, but the focus was always on providing a loving and supportive home for a child. The day we were matched with our child was one of the happiest moments of our lives.
Pride is a reminder of how far society has come and the progress that has made opportunities like adoption possible for LGBTQ+ families. It is also a time to celebrate the many different forms that families can take.
I am grateful for the support I have received from colleagues and for working in an organisation that values inclusion.
This Pride Month, I am celebrating both my identity and the family we have built together." ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
