Wear It Purple Day 2023
On Friday 25 August, we unite to celebrate ‘Wear It Purple Day’ which strives to foster supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for rainbow youth.
We encourage you to wear purple and update your Teams background tile in solidarity of this important day.
By wearing purple, we demonstrate to rainbow young people in our services that they are seen, supported and respected.
If you are at Support Centre, join us on Monday 21 August for a ‘Meet & Chat’ in celebration of this important day.
You’ll hear from Complex Support Lead, Yaz Thomas and the Complex Support Team while enjoying some delicious PRIDE and Wear it Purple Day branded cookies – courtesy of the wonderful café staff!
What: Wear it Purple Day: Meet & Chat
When: Monday 21 August, 10:30am – 11:30am
Where: Support Centre verandah
This year’s theme is ‘Write your story’ and champions the importance of expression and individuality where you’ll also have the opportunity to share your own unique perspective with others.
OUR FOUR KEY FOCUS AREAS
Awareness – We provide support and resources for Schools, Universities, Gender & Sexuality Alliances (GSA’s) and Youth Organisations to assist them in creating inclusive experiences for rainbow young people. We act as a source of resources to support the effective delivery of Wear It Purple Day in Schools, Universities, Workplaces and the broader community.
Opportunity – We provide meaningful opportunities for rainbow young people to develop their skills, expand their network and contribute to the inclusivity of their communities.
Environment – We provide supportive & safe spaces (digital and physical) and contribute to a world where young rainbow people feel proud of who they are.
Collaboration – We collaborate and unite with other organisations to further the inclusion of rainbow young people. Through partnerships, we support the effective delivery of Wear It Purple Day in Schools, Universities, Workplaces and the broader community.
