Thursday 1st June – Friday 30th June

To celebrate pride month this year staff at Derbyshire Carers Association have organised a Face Mask & Body Scrub Making at Stenson Fields Community Centre.

 

History of Pride Month

Every year, during the month of June, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place, way back in 1969.
