Supporting Hertfordshire with Pride

It was an incredible day at Cassiobury Park for Herts Pride this year, where attendees gathered to celebrate their community and revel in the festivities, boasting headline acts including Rozalla and Seann Miley Moore.

We were the main sponsor for this year’s event – themed Pride & Prejudice – which saw an impressive 2,500 people welcomed through the gates with only pride, a warm smile and no prejudice. The wonderful atmosphere allowed us to meet a whole host of new faces and let them know about our commitment to championing diversity and creating safer and friendlier communities for all, whilst catching up with tenants and friends in a safe and open environment where all were welcome. Rainbow-clad babies to even four-legged family members were catered for with a hugely popular and successful dog show at the centre of proceedings (although every single one should have really been a winner!).

Muhammad Akhtar , who led on our sponsorship of Pride, said: “It was great to be the main sponsor of Pride as it returned to Watford this year. The day was a lot of fun and it was good to see all the hard work pay off. We were able to show our commitment to diversity and creating safer spaces directly with our community and discover just how we can shape our work to serve diversity better.”
