We are proud to support them with a range of opportunities to engage in new activities, or old hobbies, to sing at our Singing for the Brain Service, to meet together and share experiences and support each other, and to access the information and support they need at our Information Hubs.   The organisation embraces diversity, inclusion and accessibility for all of our people. We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do.
