Today we mark #TransDayOfRemembrance here in HIWFRS by providing our employees with information and statistics on hate crime, suicide, and violence. We are also giving out pronoun pins and advice to our employees to promote an inclusive and safe environment for all.
#TransDayofRemembrance is an important day to honour the lives of our trans siblings who have been taken from us too soon.
Across the country, events are taking place online and in-person to commemorate 🕯️

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay! 🌍💚 A day to talk about mental health. To show everyone that mental health matters. And let people know that it’s okay to ask for help.

🔥 We are supporting #HoardingAwarenessWeek as there is often a strong link between hoarding and fire risks.
If you or someone you care for is affected by hoarding, our free home fire safety visits can help.
