Bridge Housing staff enjoyed a multicultural feast cooked by colleagues from around the world to celebrate Harmony Day on Friday.

Staff comments on what Harmony Day means to them were also collated in a staff survey conducted last week. A selection of their comments is presented below.

CEO John Nicolades said: “Bridge Housing staff come from diverse backgrounds and we house an incredibly diverse community of tenants. We celebrate this diversity and what it brings to our organisation, our interactions and our community building, not just on Harmony Day but every day.”

We are one
Friends
Celebration, respect
Celebrating differences
More ideas, more stories

Food, language and its importance
Not just about ticking the boxes, it's what strengthens our innovation and problem-solving while learning from each other and drawing on our rich tapestry of life experience
