UAL LGBTQ+ Staff Network parade brunch - Elephant Park
Our LGBTQ+ staff network have secured a float (vehicle) for the parade. There are spaces on the float and walking spaces in the parade for any UAL staff and students who want to celebrate with us. The day will begin with a brunch before the parade begins. If you want to join the brunch only, email c.owen@arts.ac.uk.
Allyship is about supporting, uplifting and working in solidarity with people facing oppression. Here are some facts about trans and non-binary people that can help you better understand and support trans and non-binary students and staff at UAL and beyond.
We spoke to Emma Martin about how she brought our Pride campaign to life with her photography.
