CELEBRATE PRIDE MONTH 2023

June marks the beginning of Pride Month, an opportunity to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community. To mark the occasion, the EDI Steering Group and TfL OUTbound have organised several activities to enjoy the month-long event. 

Join us at Pride 
The TfL staff network group have invited colleagues under the TfL umbrella to join the TfL float at Pride in London on Saturday 1 July.

This is a fantastic opportunity to show support and stand united with colleagues for the wider LGBTQ+ community that ARL and TfL support in advancing equality and diversity. 

Witness a special day with more than 500 groups and 30,000 participants marching in the iconic Pride in London parade. 

OUTbound has opened a ballot for people to enter, allowing you to join the streets to celebrate all things LGBTQ+. The closing date of the ballot is Friday 16 June. OUTbound will be in touch if you're successful. Enter here.

Pride roundel badges available NOW!
Show your support this month and purchase a Pride roundel badge!

More than £5,000 was raised for four LGBTQ+ charities last year, and for 2023 you can buy their latest designs. 

Albert Kennedy Trust, Mermaids, Terrence Higgins Trust and London LGBTQ+ Community Centre will benefit from any proceeds. 

Order yours today via liam.nixon@arrivarl.co.uk.

Competition time
Like last year, colleagues were tasked to design creative displays, with the winning submissions being displayed around the network and head office throughout June.

There was also a t-shirt competition; unlike previous years where TfL has designed Pride t-shirts, this year, colleagues were asked to bring their creative minds to the table and design the Pride 2023 t-shirts. These will be worn at the parade and other OUTbound supported events like UK Black Pride and Croydon Pridefest. Keep your eyes peeled!
