For the largest part of history people in the LGBTQ+ community have not been able to express themselves and have their voices heard, which is why having a platform to share their stories is so important.
We spend a lot of time in our homes, and it should be a place where you can relax, decompress, and practise self-care. Self-care is hard to practise in a space that doesn’t reflect the happiness you are trying to accomplish.
Through sprucing up your home and doing things that will make you happy, you will be able to set and achieve attainable self-care goals.
As they say, there's no better time than the present to kickstart a new habit. And self-care is often left at the bottom of our priotry lists. However, whatever stage of your life you're in, it's always important to care for your health and well-being.
A simple way to start your self-care routine is to look at it in terms of pillars. This might sound like a lot, but once you know them, you can better recognise what needs work in your life instead of trying to do everything.
LGBT+ History Month is every February and was started to give visibility to Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people, their history, lives and their experiences through curriculum and the wider community.

Holocaust Memorial Day occurs annually on 27th January. It is a day for everyone to remember the millions of people who were murdered in the Holocaust under Nazi rule and in the genocides which followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.
The day is observed in many ways and is important for reminding people of the devastating effects racism, hatred and discrimination has had. It is a chance for people to teach, learn and grow to protect our societies and people.
The life of a filmmaker can be enigmatic to those of us who haven’t dabbled behind the scenes and on set. Together TV’s Diverse Film Fund supported five emerging filmmakers with a £10,000 fund, mentoring and training. 2021’s filmmakers are Ikram Ahmed, Alexandra Genova, Sheila Kayuma, Jason Osborne and Blaise Singh.. The filmmakers had a varying level of experience, but this was to be their first TV credit. We sat down to hear first hand what a typical day looked liked for them.
On the 8th May, the UK recognises VE (Victory in Europe) Day. It is the day that the allies, including Britain, formally accepted Germany’s surrender ending World War 2. A day to celebrate as the strain of a six year long war was coming to a close. The conflict did not yet end then, and there were still many fatalities as the war waged on in Japan until the end of August 1945. Today, we continue to celebrate VE Day with street parties and alike. Together TV will be dedicating its afternoon broadcasting to documentaries commemorating the people and stories from WW2.
