As we get closer to summer, we enter Pride season – in UNISON’s Year of LGBT+ Workers, celebrating at our regional events will be more important than ever before.
Prides reflect the diversity of the South West, and offer an opportunity to bring UNISON’s equality work directly to the community.
The regional LGBT+ self organised group is unable to sponsor every Pride in the region, but we encourage UNISON branches and activists to get involved and attend their local Prides.
Here’s when some of the Pride events around the South West will be taking place in 2024.
