Celebrating Pride in style

The London Pride march was made even more colourful as Ealing Council staff proudly joined the event last weekend.

They marched in solidarity with tens of thousands of others in a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, to represent the borough and reaffirm the council’s commitment to being an inclusive and welcoming organisation.

Councillor Polly Knewstub, the council’s cabinet member for healthy equal lives, said: “Pride is not only a celebration of how far society has come, but also a reminder of the work still to be done.

“It’s about visibility, solidarity and joy – and reaffirming Ealing Council’s commitment to being an inclusive and welcoming organisation for all.

“Together, we are working towards a borough where everyone can be their authentic selves.”

Party in the park

And while Pride Month may be over, the celebrations continue. As One in the Park, London’s biggest LGBTQ+ day festival, returns to Walpole Park on Saturday 19 July. With DJs, drag shows, live acts and more, it promises a dazzling day of music, entertainment and community spirit.

Residents can get £10 off tickets using a special discount code which can be redeemed on the As One in the Park website.
