It is #TransgenderAwarenessWeek it is a week when transgender people and their allies take action to bring attention to the community by educating the public about who transgender people are. Suggestions for gender neutral terms to address a group.

To commemorate Women Abuse Prevention Month we wear purple to #shinethelight on the courage and survival of those who have suffered abuse, and honour those who have been killed. #osstf

All members are encouraged to show support of this campaign by wearing purple on Friday 13th. More opportunities to show support will be shared throughout November.

We remember, we give thanks, we mourn those who did not return, Remembrance Day.
