💜 It’s Wear It Purple Day! 💜

Today, we’re wearing purple to show our support for LGBTQIA+SB young people and to celebrate acceptance, inclusion and belonging.

Wear It Purple Day is a reminder that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported and proud of who they are — and that we all have a role to play in creating welcoming spaces where people can be themselves.

We’re proud to stand alongside our members, staff and community today. 💜

So, if you’re at MRFC today and spot plenty of purple around the centre, you’ll know why!

Because everyone belongs. 💜
