Exhibited on walls in RVI and Freeman Hospital, Handing on our History features portraits of Newcastle Hospitals Trust staff, as well as ‘blue light’ colleagues from Tyne & Wear Fire & Rescue Service and the North East Ambulance Service.

Artists, Richard Bliss and Phyllis Christopher, engaged with staff to find out ‘what Pride means to them’, at the Northern Pride ‘Blue Light Breakfast’ 2023. Their words are displayed alongside their portraits. Supported by the Pride Staff Network
