Bronze Age Gold from Wales

T-shirt ’70 Years of the NHS 1948-2018’. Worn at Pride Cymru, August 2018, by Mitch Jones one of the founders of the Calon Network who stated that “I co-founded Calon, Swansea Bay UHB’s LGBTQ+ & Allies Staff Network, because I wanted to create a more inclusive place for staff, patients, and service users. I had struggled to accept that I was gay and it was only through meeting LGBTQ+ colleagues that I felt able to come out; I wanted other people to also feel supported. Calon was founded in 2016 during LGBT History Month and the network has worked diligently to increase the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community, raise awareness of the difficulties that LGBTQ+ people face, and educate the organisation in relation to LGBTQ+ inclusivity”.
