Earlier this week, colleagues from across the Trust came together to celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights, with special events and activities. 🕯️💗🧡
The celebrations provided a wonderful opportunity to recognise and embrace the rich cultural diversity of our workforce. Staff enjoyed a range of traditional activities, including rangoli art, mehndi (henna), cultural displays, traditional sweets and chai, as well as a vibrant celebration of cultural diversity through fashion and music.
The events brought colleagues together to learn more about the traditions and significance of Diwali, while reflecting the inclusive and welcoming culture that makes our Trust such a special place to work. Thank you to everyone who helped organise and support the celebrations.
To all colleagues, patients and members of our community celebrating Diwali, I would like to wish you and your families a very happy .
