June marks Pride Month, a month dedicated to celebrating LGBTQ+ communities worldwide. The fact that we celebrate in June is not insignificant - it coincides with the date of the 1969 Stonewall riots, widely credited as the catalyst of the Queer Liberation movement. Many countries have made great strides towards LGBTQ+ equality - but this has not been a globally consistent, or linear, path. Many Queer people are still subject to immense discrimination and injustice, and many Governments have or are seeking to introduce legislation which will roll back some of the progress that has been made towards equality - including in some of OC&C’s geographies. It is for this reason that we commemorate Pride - to celebrate the progress we have made as a society, but also to raise awareness of the inequality and discrimination LGBTQ+ people face daily. At OC&C, we look forward to hearing from our colleagues and clients about their journeys as LGBTQ+ people, and fundraising for our charity partner Just Like Us as well as other charities.

Faerfield is proud to celebrate Pride 2024. Supporting and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community is more than just changing your company logo. It’s about actions and commitments that make a difference – here are just a few that you can do to get involved. 🌈 Attend Pride celebrations: most cities in the UK have their own Pride celebrations between May and September. Head along – they’re a lot of fun. 🌈 Allyship: be vocal about your support – use inclusive language, challenge stereotypes and stand up against discrimination. 🌈 Volunteer or donate: you can also contribute to LGBTQ+ charities and organisations, either through donating financially or your time. 🌈 Self-education: learn about LGBTQ+ history, terminology & issues; about the challenges faced by the community and about the progress that has been made. Keep an eye on the Faerfield page for more information on how we’re celebrating Pride this year. However you’re celebrating, we hope you have a fantastic time. #faerfield #equality #lgbtq+ #recruitment #inclusive #pride
