Re: (Time to Vote!!) Pride Month Art Competition 2025: Your Voice, Your Art
Hey everyone, thank you so much for your patience! We had a little bit of a delay there just as we wanted to wait to get a few more votes through. Thank you so much to everyone who has submitted their choice and feedback for both entrants!
We're delighted to announce that the winner of the 2025 Pride Art Competition is (drumroll please!!)…… "The Pride Colour" - congratulations to the author!
The prize for the winner is (first and foremost, the glory!) and secondly, a £10 WHSmith voucher for art supplies / creative writing supplies. Congratulations!
We will be emailing both entrants the positive feedback that both poems have received.
Thank you so much to everyone who has taken part, and keep your eyes peeled for more competitions and opportunities in the future!

Re: June 2025 achievements!
I love reading this post every month, its so uplifting to see everyone's achievements!
Congratulations @kaii I bet that result was a huge relief and an amazing achievement!! I'm starting my dis next semester and I just know I'm gonna need so much perseverance to get through next year ahaha
@Amy22 Happy late birthday!! Super nice to hear you're getting back into volunteering at the old charity shop, and your library too. Diamond painting sounds really interesting, i might need to add it to my list of craft things to try!
...is Albequrque not a US state? i have some research to do...
This month my achievements are that i've arranged a work placement for a module i have next semester, I've been working on advocating for myself at work more when it comes to how a certain supervisor speaks to me,, aannndd probably the most exciting one (at least for me) I've finally had my first intake appointment to start my transition. I was so nervous before the appointment despite this being what i've wanted for so long, then once i was in there it went so well, I have been buzzing ever since it happened!
I look forward to hearing everyone else's achievements, its so great to take time to celebrate ourselves!

Re: June 2025 achievements!
Oh wow its already that time of the month? Time has really flown by! June for me has been super busy and very interesting indeed.
My June achievements:
- As part of the employment support I get I was put onto a board making course in my local library where I have been learning how to play ancient game, research how they work then create my own. Mine is based off the ancient game of Albequrque (which I initially thought was a state in the US 😂). The aim of the game is to make a line of three with your beads/counters while taking out your opponent. Think of chess but with round clay balls. Google it it's a really interesting game. Mine I'd just a modern version made to be kid friendly and its called fish tanks 🤣 where you play as either team cats or team fish.
- Not much of an achievement but I did officially age in June too (another year older 😂 *I feel like an old person right now lol)
-
- I started volunteering at my local charity shop again where I used to volunteer at back in 2019. It was so nice to go back there and help out too.
- I started volunteering in my local library as part of the employment service support I revive for finding employment. It's been so fun and I'm getting to learn how the library works in general.
- today (yes today) I bought a diamond painting which I started to do in my craft club. I haven't done a diamond painting in ages and normally my focus is so bad I give up. But I decided to persist and it's a stitch themed diamond painting too which is already mounted on board so once it's done I can them hang it on a wall. But where to put it? 🤔
Overall, June has been super fun but busy too.
