It’s PRIDE MONTH

What’s PRIDE?

PRIDE is all about being proud of who you are no matter who you love or how you identify.

PRIDE is celebrated in the month of June and is a time dedicated to celebrating LGBTQI+ communities all around the world. PRIDE is a celebration of people coming together in love and friendship, to show how far LGBTQI+ rights have come and how, in some places there’s still work to be done.

PRIDE month is about acceptance, equality, celebrating the work of LGBTQI+ people, education in LGBTQ+ history and raising awareness of issues affecting the LGBTQI+ community.

How’s PRIDE celebrated?

PRIDE is a celebration of diversity, inclusion and visibility, as well as an event to continue the fight for equality, it’s about giving the community a platform to make their voices heard. It’s also, of course, a fantastic chance for a party.

There are PRIDE events across the UK and Central Co-op is supporting a selection. come and join us.
