Independent Woman’s Day was on 8 March. This year the theme was #EmbraceEquity. Bridge College wants a world where diversity, equity, and inclusivity are celebrated. A world where difference is valued. Independent Woman's Day is a wonderful opportunity to learn and foster an environment where together, we can forge women's equality.

Here at the Together Trust, we are proud to support LGBTQ+ individuals and couples wanting to foster. We are a New Family Social member and take pride in making sure every individual or family going through the fostering process with us is treated equally and with respect. 

A superstar student from Inscape House School, a specialist school supporting children and young people with autism, came second in the National SEN Gymnastics virtual competitions run by Authority Sports UK.

We speak to a couple who have fostered children with the Together Trust for the last two years to hear about their experience of fostering as a same-sex couple.

Paul, one of our former students at Inscape House School returned to school to talk to the current pupils about his journey after graduating.  

Last year, one of our residential services, Haines House, kicked off an exciting sustainable project, along with the young people’s parents and the local community. After gaining access to a local allotment near the care home in Salford, our colleagues took the opportunity to combine good exercise with a fun learning activity and get the people we support involved in growing their own fruit and vegetables.

On 26 January, students at one of our specialist educational settings, Inscape House School, gained insight into the animal welfare industry as a part of the school's careers programme.

Students passionate about a career in the media got to listen to Nick Ransom, journalist and neurodiversity consultant, talk about his experiences in a fascinating career talk!  

Last week, we were deeply disappointed to hear of the government’s decision to scrap proposals for a dedicated 10-year mental health plan.
