This week we held the first meeting of FitzRoy’s LGBTQ+ employee network. The network has been created to offer a safe, supportive space for colleagues to connect, share experiences and help shape how FitzRoy continues to grow as an inclusive organisation.
Shining a spotlight on two FitzRoy teams whose compassion and creativity have earned national recognition − from frontline advocacy to innovative IT transformation.

At FitzRoy, we knew the people we support could play a vital role in helping colleagues understand what good support really looks like - and Phillip was one of the first to step forward.
We are delighted to share that Vic Paul, one of our incredible team members at Turnbull Close care home in Dartford, has been recognised at the Kent Care Awards, winning the Residential Support Worker Award.
Debbie and Christian first met at FitzRoy's On Track day service in Petersfield around five years ago and quickly became inseparable.
When Hayley moved into her FitzRoy home a year ago, she wasn’t sure what to expect. “It has been hard sometimes,” she says “but mostly it’s been fun.”
Devon’s story highlights the impact of person-centred care, consistent relationships and strong advocacy.
Laura is 24 years old and is bubbly with a great sense of humour and a passion for anything sporty, especially football. She's a lifelong Coventry City fan but will watch almost any match that takes her fancy (as long as it's not Manchester United!). However, when Laura first moved in to our Coventry supported living home, trying new things wasn't easy for her. Her biggest fear was failing and not being able to complete tasks for herself. This made her understandably hesitant and sometimes frustrated when faced with new things.
