8 years ago, the Grenfell Tower fire took 72 lives and devastated a community.

This week, we had a private showing of STEVE MCQUEEN: GRENFELL at Chapter Arts.

It’s important that we take time to remember the people who died and honour them by recommitting to the work ahead.

💚

On the other side of the wall there is a list of the people who lost their lives, also in black text on a white wall.

We'll be sharing how our team are celebrating Pride, personally and professionally, throughout the month.

One way we're celebrating is by parade! Following a successful Pride Cymru last year, we are leading another contingent of housing professionals this year.
