Led by our Member & Community Relations Officer, James Knight, colleagues and volunteers from across our Society attended Birmingham PRIDE on Saturday 24th September.
Birmingham Pride is the UK's largest two-day gay pride festival and organisers said that this year was one of the highest attendances they had ever experienced!
We showed our solidarity with our LGBTQ+ community by walking in the PRIDE parade and also having a stall as place to meet and chat with the thousands of PRIDE attendees.
The atmosphere was amazing - sunny (both in weather and smiles) and truly celebratory. Everyone felt welcome and part of something special.
