Birmingham Pride 2021 – join in us to march alongside the largest NHS group in the parade

August 4, 2021

Birmingham pride is one of the most important LGBT+ festivals in the UK. Pride aims to play a leading role in building a community where all people are free to live without fear or prejudice. Birmingham Pride strives for equality for all as part of an evolving global pride movement. This year’s theme is ‘Stronger Together’ demonstrating a commitment to stand in unity with all members of the LGBTQ+ community fighting and campaigning against any form of transphobia, biphobia, homophobia and hate.

We are proud to be marching with 13 other NHS Trusts and CCGs from the region, making this the largest NHS group to take part to date.

Our LGBT+ staff network welcomes all colleagues to march in the parade on Saturday 25 September, assuming COVID-19 guidelines at the time permit this. All staff are able to bring someone with you and we will provide all staff and their plus one with an NHS t-shirt to wear on the day. If you would like to join us please contact andrew.churm@nhs.net. All colleagues wishing to join in must notify Andy Churm no later than Monday 26 July.

Pride planning meetings will be taking place over WebEx on the below dates, all current LBTQ+ network members will be sent an invite but if you would like to join in please pop the dates in your diary and contact Andy Churm.

  • Thursday 12 August, 1.30pm – 3pm
