We are marking Pride Month this June alongside our whole UK fire community – and some services have organised some fantastic events to celebrate.
The Charity’s Director of Organisational Development and Corporate Services, Chris Goonan, says: “Here at The Fire Fighters Charity, we are always striving to ensure diversity is valued, everyone can be their unique self and difference is acknowledged and respected. As an inclusive organisation, we support the principles of equity, diversity and belonging.”
Here’s how some of our Fire and Rescue Services across the UK are marking Pride Month:
Fire fighters from Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service were proud to support Ellesmere Port Pride. We really enjoyed the event and meeting our community here in Ellesmere Port #pride #cheshirefire #lgbtq+ #loveislove 🏳️🌈 🚒 pic.twitter.com/z0v34joByf
