Coming up: Pride Month (June 1 - June 30)  - Tips for hospitality businesses to maximise profits: Embrace the vibrant spirit of #PrideMonth by infusing your venue with vibrant, rainbow-themed decorations and offering a special menu that celebrates diversity. Create signature cocktails in the colours of the Pride flag 🏳️🌈, and consider hosting themed nights or shows to draw in a diverse crowd. Promote inclusivity and community support by partnering with local LGBTQ+ charities, making your establishment a celebratory and supportive space throughout the month and beyond. #HospitalityTipsByCapcon #StockManagement #Auditing #RiskManagement #HospitalityIndustry #InventoryControl

Sometimes folks said services could be affordable if they could find an in-network or reduced fee provider who shared identities important to them, like race, gender, or being a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Offering people options for sustainable care also helps our funding go farther, and allows us to save the funds for people who truly have no other options. #therapy #mentalhealth #psychology #nonprofit #fundraising #firstyearcelebration #healthcareforall

Help Us Secure our LGBTQ+ youth’s success this end of year season of giving. ❤️ Our LGBTQ+ youth are at a disadvantage when it comes to accessing resources and support systems, and unfortunately, many end up on the streets without a safe place to call home. At Lost-n-Found Youth, we strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment for these youth, where they can receive the resources and support they need to succeed. This end of year season of giving, we ask that you consider donating to our cause. Your donation can help provide shelter, food, counseling, and other vital resources to our LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness. Every little bit helps and your contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of these youth. In addition to monetary donations, we also welcome volunteer support and thrift store donations. If you're interested in getting involved, please visit our website to learn more about the various ways you can help us secure our LGBTQ+ youth’s success. Thank you for considering supporting Lost-n-Found Youth and helping us make a difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness. Together, we can make a positive impact in our community. 🏳️🌈 #securetheirsuccess #giftgiving #giveback #holidaygiving #lgbtq #lgbtqnonprofit #atlnonprofit #atllgbtq #homelessyouth #lgbtqyouth #donating #donations #atlorganizations #nonprofitorganizations #nonprofit

So, our last few posts have been about abuse which can be experienced in the home. As you know we also like to #signpost to relevant #charities and #organisations who can provide help when needed. The following link is for the Citizens Advice page, where they list help for both #men, #women, #LGBT+ and for #disabledpeople if they are in #domesticviolence and abusive situations. The most important thing is that if you feel #threatened you get help. https://lnkd.in/emmpfBA2 If and when you need legal help please call us at Oerton Simm on 01823 259449 or email us at [email protected] #domesticabuse #gethelp #OertonSimmFamilyLaw #SolicitorsofSomerset #familylawexperts

Many 2S/LGBTQ+ people use donor gametes -- i.e. eggs and sperm donated by someone who is not an intended parent -- to have children. But navigating the choices and considerations involved can be a challenge. That's why we published a guide for 2S/LGBTQ+ people on starting a family with donor gametes -- check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gxhxjHkh
