Pride in London, the organisation behind the annual Pride march in London, has said corporate groups who wish to march in the Pride in London Parade this summer will need to engage with Pride in London year-round – or they won't be able to participate in the parade.

If an organisation becomes a member of the Pride in the City campaign they get training on topics including how to make trans and non-binary colleagues feel more welcome in the office, and on creating an inclusive LGBTQ workplace. Events connect LGBTQ colleagues with queer community groups, activists and grassroots organisations, networking opportunities and professional opportunities.

Dee Llewellyn, Director of Partnerships & Growth, Pride in London, said: "It's about time that we set the bar higher for businesses marching at Pride in London. We want to be collaborating closely with them to make meaningful progress on LGBTQ+ inclusion in their workplaces all year, not just on the day of the Parade. Because Pride in London is so much more than a march—it's about creating a world where everyone can be their authentic selves, 365 days a year."
