🌍 Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)! 💻♿

At Pershore College, we’ve been talking to our staff about what accessibility means to them. Words like inclusion, empowerment, and equal opportunity came up again and again—and that’s what GAAD is all about.

GAAD raises awareness around digital access and inclusion for people with disabilities and impairments. It’s a reminder that when we design technology—websites, apps, or any digital tools—with accessibility in mind, we make the world more open and inclusive for everyone.

💬 Now we want to hear from you!

What does accessibility mean to you? Drop a comment below and join the conversation. Let’s keep pushing for a world where no one is left out. 🌱

🌿 Next Week is … Mental Health Awareness Week
🌿 12–19th May 2025
🌿Theme: Community

At WCG, we know that being part of a safe, supportive and connected community is vital for our mental health and wellbeing 💚. That’s why we’re proud to be supporting by creating spaces where our staff and students feel heard, included and never alone.

Here’s how we’re celebrating and supporting mental health across our colleges:

✨ Mental Health Stalls – Over 70 amazing external organisations will be visiting all six WCG colleges to chat with students and staff. From ROSA, MIND, Kooth, NACOA, Warwickshire Pride, YSS, South Warwickshire and Worcestershire Mind (SWW Mind) , NHS Shoutreach, Samaritans, Heathwatch , SOS Silence of Su***de, Talking Therapies, Compass… and so much more.

📚Tutorials & Talks – A ‘Communities’ themed tutorial will be delivered during sessions by our Personal Learner Advisors and tutors. Plus, staff can join an online awareness session with Jo from MIND and test their knowledge with a fun ‘Community’ quiz!

🎨 Celebrating Creativity – Check out this year’s beautiful MHAW artwork, ‘Community’, by Jo Jo George (L3 Ext Dip Art & Design – Visual Communication), proudly displayed in our college libraries.

💬 Start a Conversation. Talking about mental health matters. Whether it’s a quick chat or a deep conversation, your words can make a difference. Let's break the stigma and look out for one another.

🫂Need Support?
Take a look at the Mental Health & Wellbeing site, or if you’re in urgent need, contact the 24hr NHS Mental Health Helpline by calling 111 and selecting option 2.

Together, let’s build a stronger, safer, more connected WCG 💙
