Milewood, a leading provider of living services for adults with intellectual disabilities, recently hosted its annual Pride event at the Malleable Club in Stockton-on-Tees.
Milewood has set the bar for inclusivity events with its annual pride event, dedicated to promoting diversity for all its residents and the LGBTQ+ community, making sure everyone feels seen and understood.
The Pride event was enjoyed by all who attended; around 200 people from Milewood homes across the country and individuals supported by other care providers in the area, celebrated the diversity within their community and forge new friendships. The event featured drag performances from local drag queen, Monarchy and a variety of music from local DJ, Peter Clark, who both attended last year’s ‘Milewood’s Got Pride’ event.
Deputy Mayor of Stockton on Tees Cllr Bob Cook also popped in to meet guests and join in the fun.
Martyn Heginbotham, chief executive of Milewood said, “Events like Milewood’s Pride events are so important because they give everyone a space to be seen, heard, and celebrated. Our community is made stronger by the diversity within it, and we’re proud to create moments that reflect that. This day was full of joy, colour, and connection, and that’s exactly what we want our services to feel like every day.”
