The Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is immensely honored to take part in Reading Pride. They are committed to introducing their services to the community, aiming to connect with individuals who might not typically seek assistance. Collaborating with their counterparts from the Royal Berkshire Hospital, they are set to establish an ephemeral wellness hub named ‘PrideInU’. This dynamic space will spotlight an array of health and wellbeing services, accompanied by a series of concise events, workshops, and sessions scheduled throughout the day.
Services on offer on the day:
