Upcoming Events for Colleagues 

Breast Cancer Awareness - Bitesize Session: Thursday 21st September 1-2pm

We hope colleagues from across GC can join us in learning more about Breast Cancer, as we start a month-long awareness campaign on this and other cancers.

Every year around 55,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer and that means every 10 minutes in the UK 1 woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and, if nothing changes, this will rise to 1 woman every 8 minutes by 2030. Breast Cancer isn’t a disease that only women fight - you might be surprised to hear that 1 man in the UK is diagnosed with breast cancer every day - so it’s important we know what to look out for and how to get involved in fighting this disease.

Please join GC colleague Frank Kinrade who is a local representative for Breast Cancer Now as he hosts this awareness session with Nikki Bednall from Breast Cancer Now’s public health team. We’ll also be joined by our amazing GC colleague, Rosie Wright, who’ll talk about her personal experience of fighting breast cancer.

All colleagues have been sent a calendar invite containing the link to join the session. If you haven't received it please get in touch Communications@growthco.uk. 

Lunch and learn: Let's talk about inclusion: Wednesday 27 September 1-2pm

During w/c 25th September we'll celebrate National Inclusion Week with the theme of ‘Take Action, Make Impact’. 

Join Carla Nuttall – Executive Director of Corporate Affairs and Marketing, Billie Kemp – Co-chair of GC's LGBTQ+ Network and Vicky Wilding – Co-chair of GC's Parents & Carers Network, as they discuss what actions our organisation is taking to make positive and lasting impacts across inclusion and dignity at work.

On this Teams call we'll also celebrate our EDI achievements from the last 12 months and talk about our ongoing ‘Dignity at Work campaign’ to remind colleagues of the importance of treating others with dignity and respect – to help us create an inclusive culture where we can all respectfully challenge or report unacceptable behaviour.

All colleagues have been sent a calendar invite containing the link to join the session. If you haven't received it please get in touch Communications@growthco.uk.
